Posted By Dave Dowan Hi Jason You should seek advice from the manufacturer or supplier This is the guidance we have been given Webbing/Slings/Lanyards and Ropes • Dirty webbing etc. may only be washed in water no hotter than 30C and if necessary with mild detergent suitable for delicate fabrics. • Do not wash with a pressure hose. • Allow it to dry in a dark well-ventilated place and away from any direct source of heat. • Webbing etc. that has been wet and then dried may shrink very slightly. Care of Metallic Products 1. Wash as for webbing etc. but dry it with a suitable cloth afterwards. Adding a small drop of oil to the mechanism pin and/or spring ensures better operation. Storage/Transport 2. It is recommended that a hardwearing moisture resistant bag is used to store/transport the equipment to guard it against cuts, tears, abrasion, damage and contamination from chemicals and heat. Maintenance 3. Keep the equipment clean, dry and loosely packed in a well-ventilated place away from direct light, extreme temperatures and corrosive or aggressive substances. Hope this helps Dave
