Soaking green off ropes - Patio Magic, Vanish, and/or biological powder?

Still a bit dog turdoid, but looks better after being between the clothes posts for a breezy 24 hours, with only a little of its algal "sheath" still intact near the block, which probably protected it from the trampling and sink plunger.

So it seems you dont need to use a washing machine to get very dirty ropes to a usable condition.

The fibre shedding seems to have been due to damage from the cam cleats built in to the mainsheet block. I'll have to see if I can avoid using these in the future, if there is a future.

I presume that you have end for end re run the main sheet. Or even maybe cut a mtere off the sheet to realign the wear areas.

Nope. May do, though I suppose if I was going to do that it would have made more sense to take the spliced-on block off before I washed the rope. Could do it again I suppose.
