  1. Treequip apparently the bio powders additives damage the core of the rope over time as they never truly get rinsed out same goes for the fibres in your chainsaw pants, Also why gortex and other waterproof membrane company's strongly advise non bio soaps ie gentle purer soaps .. Hope that makes sense I remember asking my loler guy same question few year back

  2. 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!

     

    Could not agree more surely adding regular waging powders is just asking for trouble ? Your / our lives are on the other end of our ropes

  3. I may have been a little strong in calling the guy an idiot, I do however find the argument for this idiotic.

     

    France is one of the most protectionist countries going, only where a product can be made or grown better do they import. Looking in my kitchen, 90% of my food is a product of France, the exotic fruit and spice is imported.

     

    My TV is Japanese as they make the best tellies, my van is French, my car Sweedish as it represented a quality not available here, it had to undergo rigorous tests to pass EU and French regulations to be allowed on the road. Where are the bio security checks on your mates mouldy logs? If I knew of a way of reporting such things to authorities, I would. If this was a product from Ebola land, and it was people in danger, I think we would be having a much different thread here.

     

    The Uk has a thriving firewood industry, one where locally grown wood, cut by local people, and delivered locally with low transport requirements is an industry to take great pride in. There is the quality and the availability and the decision to import was based purely on slave labor prices:sneaky2:
