Spring Cleaning, For Your Hammock
In order to get the most out of your hammock, I am sure you remembered to take it down and store it properly for the winter months. Now that spring has arrived it is time to finally take that hammock out of hibernation and let it sway in the wind again.
To wash your hammock and get all those dusty cobwebs off of it, simply lay the hammock out on the ground flat. This can be on your patio, driveway, or deck. Essentially any hard surface that you have swept clean of debris and that can get wet.
You will want to have a bucket of water, mild detergent, and soft bristle brush. Scrub clean the hammock bed on one side, then flip it over and repeat. If you notice any areas of mold or mildew, scrub extra hard and remove as much as possible. While you are scrubbing, inspect the ropes for any fraying or damage that could have been caused during the off season.
Once you have fully cleaned off all the debris and stains, rinse with regular water. You can use your hose if available, or wipe it down with a regular cloth.
Now that your hammock is clean, you will want to hang it out to dry as soon as possible. If your hammock has spreader bars, you can hang it just like you would for normal use as long as it is in direct sunlight to dry.
If your hammock is Brazilian or camping style, without spreader bars, hang it over a chair or banister in the sun and allow it to dry that way.
Most hammocks will dry fully within 1 to 2 days. A dry hammock will last longer, so be certain that you get it in the sunlight as soon as possible.
By taking good care of your hammock and other outdoor furnishings you will ensure many years of happy use for you, your friends, and your family.
