All Your Hammocks

Washing your rope or fabric hammock can be somewhat of a challenge depending on whether it has spreader bars or not. Some people prefer to hand wash their hammock, which is a good option. If you do, use a container such as a tote or bath tub. Fully immerse the hammock, again using mild soap or hammock cleaner with no bleach. Use your hands to agitate the hammock for several minutes until clean. Once the hammock is clean, use clean water to rinse it until all the soap or cleaner is gone. Carefully untie the hammock, and again, hang it up to dry.
Drying and storing your hammock is also important in extending the life and condition of the hammock. Once the hammock is dry, you can either store it in a bag, or if you do not have, nor cannot find a storage bag, using the metal rings of the hammock, hang the hammock in your garage, basement, or somewhere where it can stay dry. After setting up your hammock for the next season, if you see any mildew, use a hammock cleaner to remove it.
