Oiling for Softness and Longevity

Oiling conditions the fibres, keeping your rope flexible and long-lasting:

• Add a small amount of Camellia or Jojoba oil to your palms.
• Slowly pull the rope through your hands, working from one end to the other.
• Repeat as needed, focusing on even coverage. Love a super-smooth finish? Go for an extra round with a touch more oil.

Waxing for Extra Durability

If you prefer a firmer, grippier rope:

• Warm up a small amount of rope butter or wax between your palms.
• Pull the rope through your hands, coating it evenly.
• Hang your rope for 24 hours to let the fibers absorb the oil or wax fully.

Natural fibres like jute are absorbent, so keeping your rope clean is key:

• For quick cleaning, wipe down with anti-bacterial wipes or a 70% alcohol solution.
• If you need to wash it, use cool water and mild detergent. Air dry the rope under tension to keep its shape.
• UV rays can disinfect your rope, but limit sun exposure to avoid weakening the fibres. A quick 1-2 hour session in indirect sunlight works best.

Store your rope like the treasure it is:

• Everyday Use: Hank it loosely or coil it for easy access.
• Long-Term: Hang your rope over a padded bar or thick carabiner to avoid creases and kinks.
• Keep your rope in a cool, dry space—natural fibers need to breathe! Avoid airtight storage, sunlight, and damp areas to prevent rot or mildew.

Jute is a hardworking material, but regular conditioning keeps it smooth, strong, and ready for play. If you're using it for suspension or intricate designs, re-oil and wax periodically to maintain its quality.

With the right care, your jute rope will age beautifully and stay ready for whatever creative ties you dream up. Treat it well, and it’ll be with you for all the adventures to come.
