Your info about the salt crystals is really interesting, we often wash racing yacht halyards and sheets in a pillow case, in the washing machine. Admittedly that is usually at the very start of their life to make them easier to grip. I know there are a lot of differences in what sailors and climbers look for in rope, stretch and elasticity in particular, is that why washing by hand is better for climbing ropes?

[@TheClimbingNomads]

Not had much experience of sailing ropes. So would be hard to comment on that.
I have seen some people say that it is ok to put climbing ropes in a washing machine inside a pillow case. I have not found a need for this and would personally rather wash by hand. A few things that would worth doing if you are going to use a washing machine would be to make sure that the draw is cleaned to remove any left over detergent and to use a delicate setting.

Great vid guys, definitely reminded me to check the ropes, trim and clean them while we are locked in anyway 😂 Thanks

[@TheClimbingNomads]

Happy to help! 👍

[@KubaClimbsRocks]

Sweet! Very detailed yet very simple, thanks! Gonna go wash my rope now! :D

[@TheClimbingNomads]

Thanks Kuba 😊

[@SMartin26]

Do not watch this with the "auto subtitles on" XD hahaha

[@jessicagrace5625]

Haha your comment got me to put them on. Thanks for the laugh 😊

[@ArinaThomsen]

I loved the tip about double daisy chain when washing the rope. Thank you, saved me a lot of time with untangling.

[@TheClimbingNomads]

Thanks Arina, glad we could help 😊

[@drstrangelove85]

I think it is good to cut the rope at the other end as well so the middle marking stays true. What do you think?

[@TheClimbingNomads]

Yep we usually chop the same off each end to keep the middle mark accurate.
