• General Utility: For tasks like bundling, securing tarps, or creating temporary barriers, ensure knots are tight and the rope is not subjected to excessive strain that could cause it to break or stretch beyond its elastic limit.
• Lisebelisoa tsa Marine: Due to its ability to float and resistance to rot, this rope is suitable for certain marine uses like mooring small boats, anchor lines (for light anchors), or general dock lines. Always consider environmental factors and specific load requirements.

Proper maintenance extends the life of your rope and ensures its reliability.

• Ho hloekisa: If the rope becomes dirty, it can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach.
• Ho omisa: Allow the rope to air dry completely before storing. Do not expose it to direct heat sources, which can damage the polypropylene fibers.
• Polokelo: Store the rope in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight (UV radiation can degrade polypropylene over time) and chemicals. Coil or flake the rope neatly to prevent tangles and kinks.
• Tlhahlobo ea Kamehla: Continue to inspect the rope regularly for signs of wear, damage, or degradation, even during storage.

6. Ho rarolla mathata

Addressing common issues can help maintain the rope's performance.

• Fraying Ends: If rope ends begin to fray, re-cut the end cleanly and immediately heat-seal or tape it to prevent further unraveling.
• Kinks and Twists: Kinks and twists often occur from improper coiling or uncoiling. To remove them, lay the rope out straight and allow it to relax, or try reverse coiling.
• Reduced Strength: If the rope appears to have lost strength, exhibits excessive stretch, or shows significant wear (e.g., fuzzy appearance, flattened sections), it should be retired and replaced.
