Thanks for the input everyone! I will stick to the bucket/jug of Dawn method as opposed to the washing machine.
On a side note, I have BreakFree CLP and Hoppes #9 solvent. What would be the best way to effectively clean the bore using these products?
I was thinking of spraying the bore with CLP, letting it sit for 10 mins, then running a dry patch through the bore. Follow up with the Bore Snake with a some #9 before the brushes, run that through and be good to go?
Personally I really don't clean em. Every once in awhile I'll spray the hell out of with gun scrubber, wring it out and let it dry
Just throw it away and get a new one when it comes to the end of its life....

I'm supposed to clean my boresnake?
Bore snakes clean? :blink:
I've run mine in the dishwasher once or twice. With a clean cycle afterwards. DO NOT tell my wife......

So how long till somebody posts asking how to unwrap a bore snake from the agitator in their washing machine?
As the argument goes, the boresnake can have foreign objects embedded in 'em (like jacketing material from your last cleaning) that would....
....well, I dunno what they would do...but that's the argument people use. They might be dirty.
I don't subscribe to that view. As others have said, they're good for a quick swipe while at the range or in the field when I don't otherwise have the time to give them a 'real' cleaning.
