Cleaning lines (ropes to the lubbers!)

Hi,
Spring Cleaning time for Far Cove! I usually replace the lines, but
this year money's a bit tight. They're perfectly servicable, just rather
green from the Wet Coast's winter wetness. What's a good/safe way to clean
them? I heard an oxygen-based bleach like Oxy-Clean was good for sails -
how about dacron lines?
Same question for sail covers.

"Far Cove" Catalina 36 - shiny engine, not so shiny lines.
Thanks for the ontopic threads well done great idea!!!!
Gee replace "every year"?? You blokes are rich beyond our
imagination:-) That free trade deal with the US must be really paying
off, hope we get ours through.
Warn water soap & a good scrub, I'd be wary of bleaches.
A bit of use in the sun with salt water & they'll be white enough
anyway, you do get some sun????:-)
