Cleaning your Climbing Harness, Quickdraws, Carabiners is Easy as 1, 2, 3
Like I said from my previous post that I would show you how to clean your harness, quickdraws and carabiners. So let's get started.
Step 1. Rinse with cool water, removing all dirt particles. I always use a bin or a bucket.
Step 2. If the dirt particles do not separate from the harness, scrub lightly with a mild chemical-free soap, then rinse.
Step 3. Allow to air dry, away from the sun for at least a day.
CLEANING YOUR QUICKDRAWS/CARABINERS...thanks for the info from Resqtek.com. When cleaning your quickdraws, take them apart so everything is separated.
Step 1. Again get a bucket but fill it with warm water mixed with a chemical-free soap, and let the carabiners soak.
Step 3. Let them dry, should take about an hour.
Step 4. Spray the mechanisms with WD-40 or a silicone spray lubricant, shaking off any excess Well that's it! Nothing too tough about it. Just a little time and dedication.
*After cleaning make sure to inspect your gear for any wear-and-tear. I would rather retire equipment early rather than too late.
I feel like I don't have to say it, but please take care of your gear, your life depends on it.
