Washing Your Climbing Rope

Many manufacturers suggest washing your rope from time to time to remove the buildup of grit and dirt on the surface that can damage the sheath and/or get into the core. These manufacturers suggest either hand-washing with a rope washer or machine-washing the rope on a delicate cycle (cold or warm) with a mild detergent (such as Woolite) that is bleach-free.  Either way, the rope should be air-dried, rather than placed in a drying machine. It is also helpful to wipe grime off your rope more frequently using a wet towel. This helps get rid of the accumulation of dirt from the day's use at your favorite crag, and keeps the rope clean and ready for use the next time out.
