Picked up some old linen fire hose strop. Dirty as you can see. Ran it on delicate in the wash with warm water. Still quite dirty. Inside even dirtier. Now the hose is wayyy stiff! As if it shrunk and hardened. Is this common?

Should I wash again and again until much cleaner? Name: 445534E7-7311-4EBB-9D05-8C9A4FF912A4.jpg Views: 691 Size: 52.5 KB
