Washing Parachutes

Hi Guys.

I have some Simpson Crossform Chutes That are getting pretty oil soaked and so on. What is the best way to wash these?

Thanks

 

The best way is to wash them in a washing maching. Chain the lines together and put them in the machine one at a time. I use purple stuff to break down the oil. I also go to the laundrymat they have bigger machines and no wife. front loading machines are best.

 

Like Wayne said, I use wire ties about every 6 inches on the shroud lines, a pain to do but not near as bad as untangling the lines after they come out.

 

chutes

Washing machine/ I use dawn/ washing soda. enough to get the oil out. chain the lines. they get pretty short after doing that, so everything fits Then dry. You will be surprised how much lighter they are. Don

 

on drying chutes..do you put in dryer or hang them and air dry?

 

just put them in a pillow case and zip tie the bag shut and wash in machine and air dry.

 

you can melt them real easy in the dryer,so make sure its on air dry..

 

I would got to a local laundry mat that has a large commercial washer. According the Stroud, when you send them a chute for cleaning, they use regular laundry detergent such as Tide, etc. with one cup "cap" size of Super Clean with the load in cold water on a standard cleaning cycle. Once the chute is done, just allow the chute to air dry.

 

Ok thanks Guys.

Will may i ask why they will hit harder? I was under the impression that they will hit harder when filled up with oil and dirt?
