For polyester or nylon double braids: Mild laundry soap like Ivory Liquid. Avoid bleaches and whiteners. Your rope will be happier if you wash with a firm scrub brush rather than putting it in the washing machine. That will also allow you to get a good visual inspection of the entire rope. Hang dry in a heated area (not the clothes dryer). Try to keep dry to avoid winter freezing as both polyester and nylon absorb water. Check for pulled and frayed cover yarns, flat or lumpy sections and with the exception of the area adjacent to splices, the ropes should have uniform diameter. Check rope to wire Halyards for frayed strands of wire called “meathooks”. If you run your hand over one, you’ll know why.. Chuck Gilchrest S/V Half Magic 1983 35 Landfall Padanaram MA
