Fill the tub halfway with warm water (not hot water). Add cleanser: You can clean your rope with simply water, but if it’s extremely dirty, apply a rope-specific cleaner (the amount to use is specified on the container) or a little amount of mild soap, such as Dawn. Extremely harsh detergents should never be used. You should place the rope in the tub and swish it around. To clean the rope, simply draw it completely between your palms (this is also a good opportunity to inspect it for damage).

Drain the tub and refill it with clean water to properly rinse the rope. Maintain this procedure until the water is clear. To completely dry the rope, flake it out or drape it over the shower curtain pole. Keep the rope out of direct sunlight and completely dry it before storing it. 

By folding the tarp’s sides up around the rope pile, roll the rope and tarp into the bag. Cinch or zip the bag shut. All you would then need to do is grab the rope bag and carry it out the door to go climbing. 

Keep as much of the rope that is not in use on the tarp and away from the soil as feasible while climbing. Suggestions for Rope Storage Apart from storing your rope in a rope bag, there are a few more factors to consider: Maintain a cool, dry environment for your rope by storing it in a cool, dry spot. If you’re not using a rope bag, coil your rope and suspend it from a sling girth wrapped around the entire rope or a dowel. 

Keep your rope out of the sun for extended periods of time: Never leave your rope out in the sun for long periods of time. While climbing in the sun on a daily basis is unlikely to cause damage to your rope, continuous exposure, like leaving the rope out for days on end, can substantially weaken it. Consider replacing your rope if it has faded as a result of exposure to the sun. Avoid excessive heat: If you store your rope in a hot environment, such as a car on a hot summer day, the fibers will be harmed. 

Keep a lookout for chemicals: Strong acids, such as battery acid, are extremely hazardous to your rope; avoid them at all costs. Be cautious when storing your rope in the trunk of a car, a garage, or a basement. Inspection of your climbing rope on a regular basis is crucial for detecting damage. Any climbing adventure should begin with the following: Examine the rope well and flake it out with your hands. Look for cuts, nicks, and abrasions on the sheath, as well as patches of the mushy or flat core.
