🧺 CARE INSTRUCTIONS — AMAZONAS “MIAMI” HAMMOCK

Material: 80% (recycled), 20% polyester
Type: Fabric hammock with fixed wooden spreader bars
Models: Miami Aqua · Miami Berry · Miami Kiwi
Max load: 150 kg

✅ Regular Use and Setup

Inspect fabric, seams, ropes, and wooden spreader bars before each use.

Hang so the hammock forms a gentle natural curve, never tight or flat.

Avoid dragging on rough ground or touching abrasive walls or surfaces.

Remove shoes, belts, jewellery, or objects that may snag the fabric.

Use only approved hanging systems rated for at least 150 kg.

Protect the woven eyelets: these are made from many thin cotton strands braided together. Always connect the hammock to a smooth fixing such as a carabiner, metal ring, or hammock hook.

Do not attach eyelets directly to rope or rough materials, as friction quickly damages the thin fibres and can cause fraying or unraveling.

Keep children supervised due to the hammock’s open spreader bar design.

🧼 Cleaning

Hand wash only using lukewarm water and mild detergent.

Clean in a bath or large tub for best results:

Place the hammock gently in the bath.

The wooden spreader bars can get wet, but must be dried thoroughly afterwards.

If possible, rest the bars on the bath edges so mainly the fabric is submerged.

Gently agitate to loosen dirt.

Rinse well and hang to air dry in a shaded, ventilated area.

Ensure the wooden bars are completely dry before storage to prevent mildew or warping.

Do not bleach, tumble dry, or use fabric softener.

Avoid drying in strong direct sunlight for long periods, as UV can fade colours and weaken fibres.

🌧 Weather and Storage Care

Bring indoors or under cover during rain, frost, or prolonged damp periods.

💨 Avoid leaving the hammock out in strong winds — the spreader bars act like sails and may cause swinging, tipping, or frame damage.

Always ensure the hammock is fully dry before folding or storing.

Store loosely in a breathable fabric bag, never sealed plastic.

Avoid greenhouses, conservatories, or windowed sheds — indirect UV through glass causes slow fading.

Over winter, protect from rodents by storing inside a sealed, rodent proof plastic container with a tight lid.

Keep away from heaters and open flames; choose a cool, shaded indoor storage area.

🔍 Maintenance

Inspect fabric, ropes, and spreader bars regularly for wear, fraying, mildew, or loose fittings.

Spot clean minor marks with mild soap and warm water.

Replace worn eyelets, loops, or ropes before use.

Treat wooden spreader bars annually with a clear outdoor wood oil or sealant if they appear dry or weathered.

Check all hooks, chains, and carabiners for rust, burrs, or bending.

⚠️ Safety and Longevity Tips

Do not jump, stand, or swing aggressively in the hammock.

Never exceed the 150 kg weight limit.

Take down or secure the hammock in windy conditions.

Protect from prolonged UV exposure when not in use.

Rotate occasionally to balance wear and colour fade.

Always store dry, shaded, and rodent safe to maximise lifespan.
