Paracord Cleaning Guide

Removing dirt and stains from your Para gear is quite simple.

• Soak items in warm water and 1 tbsp of our WASH cleaning solution below.
• Scrub gently, use a toothbrush down in the cracks if need be.
• Rinse very thoroughly.
• Hang to dry near a vent, fan, or open window.
Be sure to leave buckles open.

Cleaning solution:::
• 1 part citric acid
• 2 parts baking soda
• 2 parts washing soda

WASH is available in our apothecary. However, if you prefer to be proactive, all of the ingredients can easily be acquired at most local grocery stores or on amazon at minimal cost. I have been using this same formula as both my dishwasher and laundry detergent for years and it works great! If you have really tough stains, you can pour a little distilled white wine vinegar in with the water/powder mixture while your items soak.

I’ve also heard that various combinations of regular dish soap, hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and or castile soap work. However, I have not tried any of those myself and cannot vouch for their efficacy.
