Washing Synthetic Rope

[suzukisport]

Hey guys. Just want to get a fair idea how most of you wash your Synthetic winch rope. I spend at least a couple of hours washing ours after an event in a big drum of water, and still dosent get all of it out. Just if anyone has got a better way of washing it I would like to know. Thanks

Can you do the same as a snatch strap?

Send your misses out for the afternoon, and put it in the washing machine. (No washing powder)

Yup, the washing machine does a good job

Put the rope in a delicates bag so the agitator does chaff the rope.

my mum used to wash her abseiling rope in the washing machine whenever it got used

I use the washing machine for abseil ropes,

Used to have a small box (shoebox size) rope went in one end and out the other, had brushes mounted to scrub the rope as it passed through and a hose fitting for constant water, pretty easy to knock up.

I always double plait the rope and then chuck it in the washing machine.
