Is the fabric mildew and/or fade resistant?

Hello no it isn't fade resistant, I bought it partly for the pretty color and sad to say after just a little while outside the color has faded drastically. Very disappointed..

The package did not say if it was or not. We use it all the time but take it up and do not let it sit in the weather. As of yet it has not faded or has it gathered mildew.

We store it indoors most of the time since we live in the south and do not trust mildew resistant fabric. We left it outdoors for two days over the holiday for houseguests and the colors are noticeably lighter. I can't imagine how much it would fade if we left it out regularly.

Not sure on mildew, but most definitely NOT fade resistant, I live in SC and keep the hammock outside maybe half the time....not nearly the color it was new...but there is no mildew smell or staining and it has been out through several storms

I use it as the outside curtain for my shower and have an added liner for the inside, but so far no mildew on mine! My only problem is the rings are already rusted after 6 months

yes, I have the clear you have to wash it at least once a month to avoid the mildew forming on the bottom with bleach or any cleaning solution. It's worth the purchase quality and price.

What type of material is the inside lining? Is it water-proof/stain-resistant? Want to use as laundry basket for dishcloths and soiled baby clothes. Not sure how it will hold up to the dampness, mildew-wise. Also, will the small bin be able to hold one load of washing?

My 6 year old granddaughter uses our hammock all the time with no problem, we live in Florida and I have had no problem with mold. Fading however is another story, the sun here is intense and yes it does fade with time. Still a great deal for them money!

Depends on your climate - we had rainy days for about a week and when I brought it in the wooden post part has started to mildew (it was hanging in the shade of a tree). The woven part was fine. I just wiped bleach over the wood and white rope bits to end any mildew- it came out about 80%- still looks a little spotted. I always bring mine inside when not in use now!

I have only used it for over a month and haven't seen any mildew stains yet, not sure how long though.

I use mine daily, and I wash it about 3-4 times a month. No mildew issues here, as long as you keep it somewhat clean I don't think you'll have an issue.

This is my 2nd set over the past 3 years. Both were exposed to moisture, I've never had a problem with mold or mildew.

we bought ours last summer- i haven't noticed any fade, but we did bring them in during the winter (Colorado) they are made of a some sort of softer version of canvas. overall i would recommend. as far as color they are a bit more of a burnt orange.

I've had the product for over a year now and while I don't live in an area that has high mildew, so far it seems to be resisting mildew as promised. Please note that I only have the chair and cover out in my yard during summer, by late fall I move it all into storage.

It is made out of a heavy canvas so I think it is weather resistant. There are metal pieces that are used to hang the swing and I'm not too sure if they are weather resistant. It might rust and the fabric might get mildew if exposed to harsh weather.

We have not seen a fading problem - have used this for over three months. Make sure to wash on cold for darks.

I bought it at Christmas time very soft and warm. I have not washed it yet so I can't tell u that is does or does not fade

I've had this mat for 7 months now and have not had any signs of mildew. I don't take it up often, but when I do, there are no signs of mildew. I am very pleased with it.

Yes! Mine has been outside on the patio for almost a year of southeastern PA weather and it's still bright red, no mildew, no visible wear.

The fabric is a matte finish, and while it is very dark, I made a bike cover that was out in the sunshine all the time, and it did fade noticeably after one year. If you are using it inside, you may not have the problem. Even with the fading, it is still very strong, not deteriorating at all, and it has now been almost 3 years.
