cleaning time

[bob]

Beal sell a rope cleaner by the bottle, I have no idea what its like but I think Rich Rule has used it.

 

thats the stuff we use and it seems to work well and feel confident on not damaging rope

we have a washing machine at work:001_tongue:

if using washing powder use non bio only

cool wash only you will be surprised how hot the drum gets which is why pillowcase is recommended

Rod,

Regarding cleaning of karabiners, pulleys etc... had to do all mine recently as they were caked in sap and all kinds of gunk after several weeks of dirty crappy work and rubbish weather.

Vinegar seems to clean the karabiners off nicely!

yeah, cheers for that Justin. I have used the cleaner a couple of times. first time my ropes, vt cord were well coated in conifer crap. they came up a treat. the second time it came out was to remove dog egg from the rope, again came out all clean. the armor prus in the pic went into the machine coated in sap and came out almost like new. Even though it was over 5 months old.
