The retailers on the right of this page will sell you a new rope. Problem solved!

 

 

Sorry, I know that's no help. I've never cleaned my rope.

I just leave it to wear off mine personally.

Bung it in a pillow case in the washing machine, works for me, but as has been said, I don't really bother, only if it gets dragged through shite in some dirty scrotes garden

I got told, and have tried successfully, rub butter onto the rope and leave for about twenty minutes before washing. Apparently the fats in the butter breaks down the sap.

Best not to use normal washing powder the chemical detergent can be bad for the rope. Try Nikwax tech wash, good for all sorts of outdoor gear.
