Customers call us all the time asking, “How do I wash my rope?”

Our answer is pretty standard throughout the industry: It is okay to use the hot water setting on your clothes washer as it likely won’t damage the rope.
During the manufacturing process, the rope is exposed to high-temperature steam. Damage to nylon does not occur until it has been exposed to over 300˚ water for over 5 hours.

Washing

Use a non-bleach detergent soap like the Sterling Rope Wash™ or another non-bleach detergent soap.  Do Not Use Bleach!  Hot water alone will also generally wash a rope pretty well. Use a front-loading washer or your bathtub but, realize the rope could get stuck and break the machine or damage the rope. The bathtub is the safest way. When using a washing machine, daisy chain the rope and put it in a mesh stuff sack.

Rinse

Run two rinse cycles to thoroughly rinse all the soap out of the rope. When using the bathtub, rinse until the rope runs clean. 

Drying

To dry the rope, hang it loosely out of direct sunlight. Do not use a heat drier as the heat may damage the rope.
