XL Multicolor Mexican Hammock 08

Maintenance of the Mexican Hammock

It is preferable to wash the Mexican hammock by hand, unlike the canvas hammock, which can be machine washed. Due to the many threads, it is delicate to wash. However, it is essential for the proper care of the cotton to remove pollen, dust mites, and various dirt that may not be visible to the naked eye but are present and eventually degrade the beauty and softness of the cotton. In a bucket of warm water with the same detergent as for your machine, gently agitate the sleeping part by hand (the arms of the hammock being nylon, they do not need washing), rinse thoroughly with water, and let dry outside by spreading the sleeping part with a stick. Some think it is necessary to fix the color with vinegar or salt, but this is not needed because we only work with companies that use thread that does not bleed.
