Shore-power cord cleaning

Post by Catalina31 »

Anyone come across the magic solution or a product that works to clean the yellow shore power cords that get dirty so damn quickly?
Thanks

Shurhold clean-N-simple power cord, youtube it. It talks about ropes first, you may consider the brush, but also look at the liquid they propose. This will also lead you to other solutions too.

I used a few Clorox wipes before putting mine away for the season and it worked great.

How about ropes?
Any tricks out there?

I saw on YouTube some people put them in the washing machine in a pillow case....my wife may toss me in there if I screw up her machine.

Take them to a laundry mat. Use one of their heavy duty machines. If it is the pillow case they will never know. If they ask tell them it's a body,

Steve, regarding the washing machine route for your lines, a few guys said to add fabric softener and it would soften up stiff lines.

I put 3 loads every October at season's end, with soap and softener...afterwards I hang them to dry...they come out like baby linen!
If you "you tube" the site I mentioned earlier there are other solutions too, but the washing machine trick beats them all!
