Washing your Rope

Jan 18th, 2009 | By putra | Category: News

My rope was showing signs that it was due for a wash when I was climbing with it at Nanyang this weekend. My hands were filthy and it smelt a bit funny too. So back I took it to my place and washed the thing. I found this guide on the internet on washing your rope and I am not sure whether this is the best way or not, but I followed the directions.

I soaked the rope in some soapy water for about an hour and a half and then rinsed the rope with water to waash off the soap and dirt, and lastly ran through the rope with some cloth gloves while squeezing all the water out as I pulled the rope from the bucket of water.

It is currently now hanging on my apartment railing getting dry.

Anyway, enjoy the video and comment.
