Just brought some new Mammut rope from Caving Supplies, which came with a rather useful "instruction manual". Going through it, I came across this particular bit:
Just wondered if anyone else has machine washed their ropes? If so, what detergent have you used and what was the results (ie. none, rope twist, shrinkage etc.)
Not something I had even considered before..........
If a rope becomes dirty, you can wash it either in hand warm water in the bathtub or in a normal household washing machine........................For machine wash, the same instructions for wool should be used to take best care of the rope....................A mild synthetic detergent is the most suitable for this.
