Mucky warps

[BobA]

Hi Guys
Just brought the boat in from a trot mooring and the mooring warps are absolutely covered in mud and slime.
Whats the best way to get them clean, I do not think that SWMBO would be very happy if I just chucked them in the washing machine, they really stink.

Try under running water - then soak in the bath.

Stiff broom and a hosepipe out on the concrete. Then the washing machine but not with her frillies.

would that be a 40 degree wash using a non bio power?

Seriously if you put ropes in the washing machine put them in an old pillow case first. stops them falling apart mid way.

A light application of a pressure washer.

stick them on deck and use fresh water hose

Tow them behind the boat for a few miles - or better still put some spuds in a mesh bag and tie them on the end. That way you get peeled spuds and clean warps

Isn't that what the marina washing machines are for?

'Scuse my flippant reply earlier. Couldn't resist. Actually when I had same prob, i did as JohnWest and used the pressure washer with care. My ropes are white nylon and though there is still some colour deep in the fibres, the surface came up really well.

As with any domestic chores, give them to SWMBO. She can use her w/machine, laundrette, bath or even bang them on the rocks 'til her heart's content. All, you need to do is inspect the final work to ensure standards are maintained.

DUCK!!!!!!!!
