Non bio, normal cycle - loose. Sorted.

Chuck it in the machine with a bit of whatever you wash your clothes with. Fast spin brings them out ready to use

step 1: rinse washer detergent draw with very hot water to remove any detergent residue

step 2: put EMPTY washer on a hot/ hot rinse cycle to wash detergent away

step 3 : tie 2 ends of rope together and flake loose rope directly into machine

srep 3 : place nickwax tech wash or other rope specific cleaner (eg beal) in draw

step 4 : programe long cool (max 40) wash

step 5 : if desired add rope water-proofer (eg nikwax rope proof) to draw and re-wash following proofer instructions

step 6 : untangle rope and allow to air dry in cool atmosphere out of direct sunlight

 

enjoy clean (lighter in the rain if proofed) rope!

 

PS do not machine wash flip lines, this can lead to accelerated internal corrosion and accelerated flex cycling of where the wire exits the crimp/ crimps that can be hard to detect until.........pop!
