I’ve spent much of the first three months of this pandemic hanging in a hammock in my backyard under an old Hennessy Hammock 70d Polyurethane Hex Tarp.
We have now hit the time of year where it’s too hot out to enjoy the backyard and I’d like to put the tarp away but it’s got a fair amount of bird poop on it. It’s not blasting off easily with a hose so I’m thinking about removing all the guy lines and throwing it into a front loading washing machine. Is that a bad idea?
I haven’t used this tarp for camping in years and it’s too heavy for backpacking so I’m not too worried about it if something happens to the tarp in the washer…
