    Mild detergent, cold water, and a sink or washer with a hand-wash setting. Then just hang it out to dry.

    As it happens, our home hammocks go into the wash in the morning. They're cotton, so they are always smaller that night.

    I just throw my parachute nylon hammocks in the washing machine as directed by some manufacturers. Cold water, mild detergent and air dry.
    Haven't washed my WBBB or SBLH yet but when I do I'll probably hand wash them with some form of outdoor gear wash and air dry as well
