Default Washing Boresnakes

I will like to know how you wash your own boresnakes without the use of a washing machine. I am planing to washing mine.

Throw them in one of those washing bags that are used for panty hose

Hope Dick 284 doesn’t see this as he contends that using a boresnake is similar to wiping your butt with a hula hoop. ... so, I imagine he would recommend washing the boresnake in a bidet

Only with rifles- he uses them for shotguns because, well, they're shotguns!

I have a bore snake for every gauge of shotgun, but I would never use one in my rifles.

I doubt he washes his hula hoop. Though I once heard him mumble something about a colon cleanse just before he swallowed a 10 gauge boresnake...

I normally just push them in to a sock and put them in the washing machine.
