Shibari Rope Care Guide

Taking proper care of your shibari rope helps maintain its durability, safety, and performance. Whether you’re exploring self-tie techniques, decorative knots, suspension, or intimate play, this guide provides everything you need to know about keeping your ropes in excellent condition.

Please ensure all knotted ends are tightened and secure before and after each use. We do not accept responsibility for loose ends, as each hank is carefully quality-checked prior to shipment.

  • (All colours excluding Mint)

    Hemp rope is a versatile option, perfect for suspension, decorative tying, self-tie, or bedroom play. Its strength and natural texture make it a popular choice for both beginners and experienced rope users.

    • Cleaning: Chain knot or braid the rope and place it in a pillowcase or lingerie bag. Wash on a cold, gentle cycle with a small amount of rope soap. Use an extra spin cycle if needed to remove excess water.
    • Drying: Leave the rope braided or knotted and hang it to dry for 2 days. Once the surface is dry, unknot it and allow it to fully air dry for an additional 4–5 days (longer in humid climates).
    • Oiling: Apply a small amount of rope oil or unscented baby oil to recondition your rope. Avoid animal or plant-based oils, as these can cause rotting over time.

  • Our Soft Mint Hemp Rope is one of the softest options available, making it ideal for sensitive skin, self-tie, and decorative uses. This rope is not suitable for suspension.

    • Cleaning: Hand wash only with cold water and mild rope soap. Machine washing is not recommended to protect the delicate fibres.
    • Drying: Hang in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources.

  • Nylon is a synthetic material known for its smooth texture, durability, and versatility. It’s a practical choice for all-purpose rope play, offering both strength and flexibility.

    • Cleaning: Wash unknotted nylon rope on a gentle cycle with rope soap. Use a lingerie bag if needed.
    • Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded area to avoid damage from heat or sunlight.
    • Features: Nylon is resistant to moisture absorption and fraying, making it a long-lasting and low-maintenance option.

  • Cotton rope is soft, lightweight, and ideal for decorative ties and intricate patterns. Its smooth texture makes it comfortable for wear and gentle on the skin.

    • Cleaning: Hand wash gently to preserve the softness and longevity of the fibres. Avoid machine washing unless absolutely necessary.
    • Drying: Hang in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat or sunlight, which can weaken the fibres.
    • Care Tips: Cotton can retain moisture, so ensure it is completely dry before storage to prevent mould or damage.

  • Silk bamboo rope combines strength and softness, making it ideal for gentle tying, decorative purposes, and non-abrasive play.

    • Cleaning: Hand wash in cold water with a small amount of rope soap. Avoid washing machines or dryers, as they may stretch or damage the fibres.
    • Drying: Hang in a shaded, ventilated area and allow to air dry naturally. A gentle stretch during drying can help maintain the rope's shape.

  • Jute rope is strong, lightweight, and durable, making it a favourite for tying and binding. Its natural fibres provide excellent grip and texture.

    • Cleaning: After use, rinse with water, especially if exposed to sweat. Allow it to dry completely before storing to prevent bacteria or mould growth.
    • Treatment: Use a small amount of rope oil to maintain flexibility. For new ropes, tumble dry with rope butter, then lightly singe loose fibres with a gas flame for a smooth finish.
    • Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from sunlight or moisture to protect the fibres.
