Spice up your summer or heat up your winter with the vibrant Large Summer Sunset Brazilian Hammock. This 100% cotton Brazilian Import embraces two key elements, strength and beauty. These hammocks are solid cloth, so they are not as easily damaged from snags. Brazilian-style hammocks do not use a wooden spreader bar on each end, so we recommend lying diagonally to spread the hammock out, creating a flatter surface.
They are very comfortable and elegant in appearance and can be used indoors or outdoors. The rich colors of this hammock combined with the comfort will have you convinced you are relaxing on a beach in Brazil. Many of our customers who have traveled abroad have loved the style of Mayan, Nicaraguan, and Brazilian hammocks because of their high comfort level. These hammocks are often used as beds, so feel free to use them to their full potential. Hanging Hardware sold separately.

Machine Washing
Holding the two hanging end rings in your hands, bring them together, folding the hammock in half. Tie the hammock together with string just below the hanging rings. Tie the hammock together again, at the opposite end, and once more in the middle of the hammock. This should prevent the metal rings from becoming entangled with the string bed of the hammock, and the strings themselves from getting tangled as well. Put the tied up hammock into a pillowcase, and tie the pillowcase closed. Be sure to tie it securely, as the washing machine has rigorous agitation, and you do not want the hammock to come out of the pillow. Use mild detergent to wash. It's important to not use bleach. After washing, carefully remove hammock from pillowcase and untie. Hang up hammock and spread out as much as possible to dry completely.
Hand Washing
Holding the two hanging rings in your hands, bring them together, folding the hammock in half. Tie the hammock together with string just below the hanging rings. Tie the hammock together again, at the opposite end, and once more in the middle of the hammock. This should prevent the metal rings from becoming entangled with the string bed of the hammock, and the strings themselves from getting tangled as well. In a large sink or bathtub, immerse the hammock in water mixed with a mild detergent. It's important to not use bleach. With your hands, agitate the water until you feel the hammock is clean. After washing, carefully untie and unfold the hammock. Hang up hammock and spread out to dry completely.
Storage
After first making sure your hammock is clean and completely dry, hold the two hanging rings in your hands, bring them together, folding the hammock in half. Tie the hammock together with string just below the hanging rings, and again just above the point where the hammock bed begins, to prevent tangling. When storing, it's important to protect against moisture, soiling and critters. The easiest way to prevent these threats to your hammock is to use a storage bag made of outdoor, weather resistant, durable fabric that allows the hammock to breath. If you do not have a storage bag, hang the hammock from its metal rings in your garage or basement, or anywhere it will remain dry and out of the way. If you find any mold or mildew when you bring your hammock out the next season, we recommend using a mild detergent.
