For what it's worth:

I use Rio Square Lines exclusively and as per THEIR recommendation found in the instructions that come with the line; I wash my lines with plain soap WITHOUT detergent. I wet a sponge with warm water and soap it up with Ivory bar soap and pull the working section of the line through the folded sponge about three times then once through a sponge with water only. I then pull the line through a clean rag to dry it.

Also as per their instructions I then apply a THIN coat of Poo Goo which is a 100% silicone floatant with a rag. I do this after EACH use. It takes me about 10 minutes start to finish and my lines look great, shoot great and float like a cork.
