Cleaning Climbing Gear

I recently had my climbing gear (slings and hardware) mixed with quite a bit of fruit juice...
I was wondering if anyone had any advice on the best way to wash the gear? Any recommendations for what to clean it with?

Cheers

I would try lots of warm water and maybe a mild detergent...when i wash my gear after sea cliff climbing i just dunk it all into a clean tub of warm water and then hang some where dark to dry and lube the cams after that.

i wouldnt think it should be too hard to get out.

Lux pure soap flakes and warm water. (this is actualy recomended by Singing Rock)
dont have the water to hot, disolve the flakes in a small amount of hot water and dilute with cooler water. Rinse well and dry outa the sun.

theres some info on lube for cams floating around one of the gear lust threads not sure wich one.

Or leave them sticky and lick the flavour of next time your bored on belay!

I once found a dried apricot in a hex wedged in by the wire. God knows how long it had been there I recon i might have starved without it! So never wash is my motto! Phew!
