Rope brushes 19-Mar-2012 At 2:24:27 PM Gavo

Hey hey.

I've had spurt-dirt in my rope for a while and it's gone through the wash (in a mesh bag, no detergent) with little effect.

I'm told a rope brush is the best option. So there is the beal one for about $30 I think.. but rather than that... I've found the following DIY's:

It's got me wondering though.. wouldn't it be fine to just take a stiff-ish brush (like a nail-brush), and just scrub it by hand on all sides of the rope in a bucket of water, maybe with some LUX flakes in there?

It's not like I want my ropes spick and span but it's at the point at the moment where if it runs over anything but black pants, even for just a few feet, it leaves a big black mark.... so I reckon it could do with a bit of TLC.

Anyone know of a really good way to get the dirt out?

Cheers
