What is the best (safest) way of cleaning a steel-core flipline from sap

Hi,

 

My fliplines are saturated with sap and other gunk. How do I clean the fliplines? I don't dare putting them in my laundry machine since the carabiner and "ergo-grip" adjuster, and steel-core ends would hammer the machine to death.

 

The sap can be removed using methylated spirits but is that safe (I guess it is safer than some of the other suggestions I have read in this forum, such as petrol).

Spread butter over the most gunked up areas leave it for a bit to break up the sap, then using mild soap flakes (should be able to get them in Denmark) in a warm bath or sink scrub your line clean with a brush.

Butter really works!!
