Step 5Pull it through
You're now ready for the cleaning to begin! If you have a longer piece of cord than me you could use a piece twice as long and tie the knot in the middle then pull it back and forth instead of re-threading each time.
Slowly draw the knot through the tube by pulling on the other end of the paracord. When it's almost all the way through hold it over the sink; if you've never done this before you'll likely have a lot of black gunk dropping out on your lap otherwise! Mine's cleaned regularly so I can't show you how gross it can get.
Wash off the knot and repeat until you're happy. If the knot wasn't touching all sides of the tube the first pass through you might be able to see stripes down the inside to show the difference between before and after cleaning.
Once clean, rinse and then it's ready to use.
