Care Information

Cleaning Instructions

All of our hammocks and hammock chairs are designed to be used indoors and outdoors thanks to their durable, weather resistant, polyester cord construction. However, over time your hammock may accumulate dirt, dust and grime, especially if kept outdoors for extended periods of time. We recommend storing your hammock indoors when not in use to reduce the need for cleaning.
 
To clean your hammock we recommend:
  1. Shake off any debris.
  2. Fill a tub with warm water and either some mild dish soap, mild laundry detergent, or Woolite.
  3. Soak the rope portion of your hammock.
  4. Optionally, you can scrub any dirt or stains using a soft brush.
  5. Remove the hammock from the tub and rinse with fresh water.

DO NOT use bleach to clean our products. Bleach can deteriorate the ropes and cause
discoloration. 

Care Information for our Wood Arc Hammock Stands, Wood Arc Swing Stands, and Recliner Stands

Our stands come with a thin coat of oil from the factory, meant to protect it on the way to you. However, if you want to keep your stand in the best condition possible, we recommend applying an outdoor-grade wood oil product every six months to one year (more often if you expect your stand to be frequently wet). You can even use boiled linseed oil or tung oil, as long as you are OK with the color change those oils cause.

Avoid wood "sealer" products. Moisture sealed into the wood, which isn't allowed to escape, can damage the stand over time.

You can use a tinted wood oil or wood stain if you want to change the color of your stand. Test the stain on an inconspicuous part of the stand first to make sure you like the new color.

Although or wooden stands can withstand most winter environments and the cold temperatures they bring, frequent freeze-thaw cycles can weaken the wood. It's best to cover the stand or move it under shelter during the winter to protect it from ice, snow, or winter rain.
