Beal Rope Brush

<p>A simple yet effective tool to brush off dust and dirt from the whole surface area of your rope.</p>
<h3>What We Say</h3>
<p>Sometimes you need things you don't even know you need. Like whan you are doing the right thing, and washing your rope...and you learn that pre-brushing the dirt is a smart thing to do.</p>
<p><strong>Why?</strong></p>
<p>Because dirt and grime are abraisive, and we really want to keep the abraisive stuff away from the soft gentle life-saving stuff of ours. Brushing need not only happen pre-wash, it can happen whenever you feel that dust and dirt and grime has gotten onto your rope</p>
<p><strong>How?</strong></p>
<p>Thread brush onto the rope and brush along the length repeatedly in gentle slow brosh-strokes. If you intend to wash the rope, we suggest either making a <a href="https://youtu.be/60oX5Hyf_HY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" title="Rope Daisy">See Youtube</a> and putting it in a pillowcase (or similar) or simply flaking it into a pillowcase (or similar). Remember to use a synthetic-fibre friendly detergent (<a href="https://www.nikwax.com/usblog/attack-of-the-killer-detergent-the-nikwax-difference/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here's why</a>). It's up to you whether or not you choose to add a secondary cycle to the wash, and "re-proof" it - the advantage is an extra dirt repellancy (and water repellancy) <br>- the disadvantage is a <em>slipery </em>rope (that's the teflon effect), which makes it very fast through a belay/rappel device.</p>
<p>Dry your rope in a cool well venitalted area, away from chemicals and sunlight.</p>
