do people wash and reuse yoyo string after it wears out and gets grimey?

People usually only do this with really long lasting strings like good nylon and trilobal thread

I wouldn’t bother washing an ordinary poly string because by the time it has become that dirty, it has also become frayed beyond usefulness.

Mark Montgomery use to put used strings in his pants pockets to wash/dry them. I’ve done it by hand a few times, but only when I start to get low on strings/materials. Also, I agree with @andy569

Only the Markmont DRAGON strings. Which I’m very excited are going to be remade very soon!

Glad they are remaking them. The Japanese thread I used to duplicate them is no longer available and I really didn’t like the Draken.

I wrote this up using Cloud strings as an example, but most Nylons and high quality nylon/poly blends should be the same.

I sometimes use a baby wipe on premium poly strings to clean them up a bit. My son plays with grubby hands a lot. But in general just replace.

Not worth it if you’re using poly. You could do it with nylon but again is never going to feel like a new string.
