What is the best way to clean dock lines (3-strans nylon)??

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...............
