Yep...brought home the lot and washed in my front loader Frigidaire with
the usual cheap detergent. Lines looked new and salt stiffness gone.

If you're squeemish about salt water in your $4000 super washer 5000, take
them to a laundromat without an attendant that has front loader commercial
machines.

DO REMEMBER TO TAKE ANY ANCHORS AND HEAVY TACKLE OFF THE LINES!

LOL

Our anchor is all chain on the primary rode, and we've never used the
alternate anchors that we have, so that should be 'like new'



In this case, you don't need to remove the anchor before washing the rode.
