🧺 CARE INSTRUCTIONS — AMAZONAS “PALACIO / PALACIO BOHO” HAMMOCKS
Material: 100 percent cotton (untreated)
Type: Fabric hammocks with fixed wooden spreader bars

✅ Regular Use and Setup

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

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

Keep clear of sharp edges, brickwork, or abrasive surfaces.

Remove shoes, belts, or items that may snag or damage the fabric.

Use only approved hanging systems rated for the hammock’s load capacity.

Protect the woven eyelets: these loops are made from many thin cotton strands braided together. Always attach them using a smooth connector such as a carabiner, metal ring, or hammock hook. Do not attach woven eyelets directly to rope or rough materials, as friction can quickly wear through the fine fibres and cause fraying or unraveling.

🧼 Cleaning

Hand wash only using lukewarm water and mild detergent.

Wash in a clean 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 the fabric section is mainly submerged.

Gently agitate the cotton fabric without twisting or wringing.

Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Hang to air dry in a shaded, well ventilated area.

Ensure the wooden bars are fully dry before storage to avoid mildew or warping.

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

Avoid drying in strong direct sunlight for long periods, as UV causes fading and weakens untreated cotton fibres.

⭐ Additional Tips for Cream and White Cotton Hammocks

Cream and white cotton show marks easily. Use a clean throw blanket or cotton sheet if wearing sun cream, makeup, tanning products, or body lotions.

Avoid sitting down with damp or dirty clothing. Dark denim and clothing dyes can transfer to the cotton.

Keep clear of tree sap, overhanging branches, gutters, or bird activity that may drop debris onto the hammock.

Shake the hammock out regularly to remove dust and pollen before they embed into the fibres.

For small stains, dab gently with lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid rubbing hard, as cotton fibres can fuzz or weaken.

Use only gentle oxygen based stain removers when needed. Do not use bleach on untreated cotton.

After washing, reshape and shake the hammock to avoid bunching or wrinkling.

Store only when clean and dry. For best protection, wrap in a clean cotton sheet inside the breathable storage bag to prevent marks.

🌧 Weather and Storage Care

Bring indoors or under cover during rain, frost, or prolonged damp periods as untreated cotton absorbs moisture easily.

Avoid leaving the hammock out in strong winds, as the spreader bars act like sails and can cause tipping, swinging, or damage.

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

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

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

During winter, protect from rodents by storing in a sealed, rodent proof plastic container with a tight fitting lid.

Keep away from heaters and open flames, and store in a cool, shaded indoor space.

🔍 Maintenance

Regularly inspect the cotton fabric, suspension ropes, and spreader bars for wear, fraying, or mildew.

Spot clean marks with warm water and mild soap.

Replace worn suspension loops, knots, or eyelets before use.

If wooden bars dry out or weather, treat them annually with a clear outdoor wood oil or sealant.

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

⚠️ Safety and Longevity Tips

Do not jump, stand, or swing aggressively.

Never exceed the stated weight capacity.

Avoid strong winds when hung outdoors.

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.
