As in the title, there was an accident with some fuel and my rope at work and my rope soaked some of it up. Took me an hour to get back and get it in the washing machine with some soap flakes.. Water alone didn't seem like enough, though I still used cold water..

 

I can't find out on the Samson website (it's the "Velocity" rope) if petrol and oil will damage the rope.. I have heard and read synthetic ropes can be resistant to petrol and oil, natural fibres are ruined apparently, but I've got nothing solid.

 

 

Any information would be great and helpful, Cheers Gareth.

Yep see whole ropes been thrown away because of this bud.

From other courses ive been on, they say to keep separate, and as above either to cut the section or bin it

Cheers for all the replies. This rope is headed for the bin then

 

Cut out the contaminated section if possible and maybe you got an apple tree rope ?
