I put my rope away a few months ago before winter. I took it out yesterday to use this weekend. The rope was damp and there was some mold on other pieces of equipment. I have let the rope dry over night. Is this rope safe to use or get a new one? Not sure how long it was wet for

Thanks
 
Pretty sure it's rot resistant, the 12 strand definitely is, I use 16 strand and I've never had a problem. Chuck it it the wash machine on warm with some soda crystals(pretty sure I've used them but check) or mild detergent. It comes out almost dry then hang it. You can do it in the bath too but machine better
 
Should be fine but check it, give it a twist and tug, see if anything looks wierd
