HAMMOCK CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Please follow the care instructions below to ensure the long life of your Vivere Hammock

Mold and mildew is not a warranty issue it is a climate issue:

Mildew is an airborne fungus it can land on any surface, even glass. The conditions it likes best are surfaces that have enough dirt build up to retain moisture and even better a porous surface that can retain moisture and the mold can penetrate. If the fabric has not been washed and the mold is allowed to take hold you can clean the mold off but some staining will have occurred. When mold embeds itself in a fabric it is almost impossible to remove it.

Vivere Cotton Hammocks

Hand Washing

Place the hammock into a sink or bathtub by holding both of the end loops. Immerse the hammock in warm water and slowly add a mild detergent, but keep the end loops out of the water. DO NOT USE BLEACH. Using your hands, massage the hammock as well as the end strings until the hammock is clean. After washing, rinse the hammock with clean water. Finally, wrench the water from the hammock and hang it in a place to dry. Make sure the hammock is spread out for thorough drying.

Machine Washing

Bring both end loops together by folding the hammock in half. Tie the end strings together with a piece of string just below the loops and 3/4 of the way towards the bed of the hammock. This will prevent the strings from getting tangled from the agitation and spinning in a washing machine. Once the end strings are tied, place the hammock in a pillow case and tie the pillow case closed. Use mild detergent with your wash cycle and use cold water for your rinse and spin cycle. DO NOT USE BLEACH. After the rinse cycle, carefully remove the hammock from the pillow case and untie the strings. Hang up your hammock to dry, make sure the hammock is spread out for thorough drying.

Storage

Before putting your hammock into storage, make sure it is completely dry and clean. Tie the end strings together with a piece of string just below the loops and 3/4 of the way towards the bed of the hammock. This will prevent the strings from getting tangled.

Place the hammock into a weather resistant fabric bag that can breathe. The other option is to hang your hammock from a hook in your garage that is located in a dry and low traffic area. This will help keep the hammock from being soiled. It is also important to protect your hammock from various critters that might think your hammock material is food or an ideal nesting site.
