Washing Lead Ropes?

nylon lead ropes without them turning stiff???  Is it the dryer or the
washer that makes them stiff?  Thanks! (end paste)

You WASH lead ropes?  And put them in the DRYER?  I can't even find time to
wash my laundry.  Please allow me to suggest this time-saving alternative:
Hang halter and lead rope outdoors, wait for rain to wash, sun to dry.  If
freezing weather is an issue wait until spring.

I believe that the sweat on my lead rope helps to keep knots tied tied and
imbedded burrs give me a better grip.  (Yes, my hands look like crap... oh
well!)
