Outdoor and portable hammocks often get dirty; some get stored improperly and develop mold or mildew. If you need to seriously launder your hammock, you may need to do repeated washings with ordinary soap and water. Never use bleach on a hammock, as it will weaken connecting ropes, cords, and fastening strings. If you cannot properly clean your hammock with soap and water, you may need to replace your outdoor hammock, especially when it comes to mold. Some people prefer to Scotch Guard their hammocks upon delivery, which cuts down the risk of mold and mildew right away. Remember to store your portable hammock in a completely dry condition. If you need to dry it out right away, get a fan and put it on the highest setting, and place it in front of your fully extended or assembled hammock for quick drying.
