What is the best way to clean dock lines (3-strans nylon)?? And how to make them 'softener?? Hanz The short answer is DONT...... The correct answer is go to a cordage manufature's web site and read it for yourself. Your line, if of high quality, will have a coating to help reduce water retention... If you clean the line you may risk removing the protective coating. THen the line soaks up water and the breaking strength is reduced significantly. Read the instructions.................. But if its cheep ****ty line I recomend a 3000 PSI power washer with the most agresssive detergent.solvent you can find. After spening an hour blowing down the line THEN you can throw it away............... Bob |
