Wash your rope!

You can skip this step if your rope was used primarily indoors. If it was an outdoor rope, washing it is going to be essential.

You want to use a mild detergent. Sterling Rope sells rope wash that you use with a washing machine. You can also wash it by hand. A great way to keep your rope from getting tangled is to tie it into a daisy chain. Look at the photos to see how to tie it, and how to untie it.

Hang it to dry!

This might take a few days. Remember to keep it away from direct sun and all that. Since it's about to become a rug, this may not be that important, but better to develop good habits.

Wait until dry.
