Flow ropes will wear down with use (especially where they strike the ground) but proper care can extend their life:
🌦️ Care & Maintenance
Use on smooth surfaces
Stick to grass, rubber flooring, hardwood, yoga mats, or clean pavement.
You can wrap the apex of your rope (where it hits the ground) with electrical tape, duct tape, or kinesiology tape for added protection. However:
- It may affect the rope’s feel and flow.
- Removing the tape can damage the fibers or leave sticky residue.
Only do this if you’re certain it’s worth the trade-off.
Avoid
Rough concrete or gravel - they cause fraying.
Cleaning
Hand wash in warm water with mild soap or rope-safe cleaners. Disinfecting wipes are also an option. Never use bleach. Rinse thoroughly if it has been exposed to saltwater.
Drying
Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid direct sun or high heat, which can weaken the rope. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mold or mildew.
Heavy Ropes: Avoid dryers as they can cause the handles to come undone, or worse, the core to become separated from the sheath. Air dry for up to 72 hours with a fan if possible.
Check the Ends
Re-tape or re-wrap them when they start to wear.
Rope Shrinkage/Swelling
Is normal over the lifetime of a rope. Minimizing water exposure reduces this.
Rope Repair
If the apex of your rope start to fray, you can gently reseal the fibers using a heat gun or by quickly passing it over a low flame.
Caution: Avoid high heat. Too much can burn the rope or fuse the fibers, making it stiff or brittle. Use just enough heat to slightly melt the stray fibers and prevent further fraying.
If the outer sheath of your rope wears down and the inner core becomes visible, your rope is nearing the end of its life.
Taping it with electrical, duct, or kinesiology tape may offer a short-term fix, but it won’t restore the rope’s original feel or function.
At this stage, you can either keep flowing until it fully wears out, or consider replacing it for a better experience.
