I want to clean my Zig-Zag, need advice on how to proceed.

Hi, I bought my Zig-Zag a few weeks back and have done only a little climbing with it. So the rope I was using however had some use. I noticed that filth from the rope gets onto and in between the links and parts of the Zig-Zag. I can imagine that climbing 5 days a week with it might get dirty and this makes me wonder how it might affect the Zig-Zags functions. So, I need advice on the best way to clean this device and make sure it's top notch for years to come.

Dishwasher?

You're overthinking things.

Inspect daily, maybe blow out with compressed air. Graphite for the linkage.

i cant believe your not getting flamed for even asking. lol Did ZZ bashing finally get old around here? (like pretty much everything). IDK maybe its just me. I have a ZZ and find it hard to believe it could need cleaned that soon if at all.
