How to care a hammock easily?

FIG.1

To wash hammock: Hand wash in mild detergent (colors may bleed some) Always tie up arm strings to avoid tangles. Put inside a pillow case while washing. 

To store hammock hang both ends from one hook on the wall, or fold it up and store it (fig.1) Do not leave it lying around unfalded. 

Weather: hammocks last longer if not left out exposed to the elements. Cotton hammocks are more durable than synthetics wich break down under 

the suns ultraviolet rays. Still, it is best to store your hammock indoors when not in use. 

Do not hang hammock directly on hooks as friction wearing may occur. Instead loop a chain or rope from hook through the loop end of the hammock and back to hook (fig.2) 

Always hold hammock by loop ends to avoid tang to repair: Should a string break on an open wave hammock, it will not run, however, you must tie the two broken ends together to avoid the 

development of a hole.
