How to wash a climbing rope in a top-load washer

1. It is possible to machine wash a Climbing Rope! First, flake out the rope (pile it loosely on the floor).

2. Daisy chain the entire rope. This keeps the rope away from the agitator and prevents the rope from being tangled or abraded by the washing machine.


3. Carefully lay the rope in the washing machine, keeping it away from the agitator.

4. Set the washing machine to the gentlest cycle and cold water. This is typically the “woolens” cycle. This is important because the nylon that makes up the rope can be damaged if heated with hot water. Add a cleaning product such as a gentle detergent.
This step is optional as washing in water alone seems to work just as well.
5. Run the washing machine.
6. Remove the rope from the washer and flake it out onto a dry towel. The rope will be dry in a day or two. Use a fan if it needs to dry faster. Never dry your rope in the dryer! Heat can damage the nylon and weaken the rope. Never dry your rope in direct sunlight! Long term exposure to UV rays can weaken the rope.
