Default Cleaning lines (ropes to the lubbers!)

Once again, back in my caving days, there was a device that was
routinely used to wash ropes (yes, in the caving world they are called
ropes). It was (is?) connected to a garden hose and the rope is pulled
through it by hand. Cleaned out the grit. Probably would remove
green as well.

I have had good luck using a consumer grade pressure washer to clean
the green off my lines. I had some lines that looked aweful and came
up beautifully after pressure washing.


I'd worry about the pressure washer causing abrasion to the lines as it
was cleaning them.
