I use them at times too, I'm told you can wash them in the washer, anyone here do that?

I've not done it but know a friend that has. If you have a divorced pair of socks or just a worn out one. You can stuff it in one and wash that way then hang outside to dry. I think myself to keep from getting oil or grease in the washer I'd use the laundry sink and hand wash to be safe.

I washed one once; threw it in with a regular laundry load and it came out like new again

I just soak them in a bowl of hot water an Dawn along with bore mops and chamber mops. Like Jeff said, they are like new and the nasty destructive carbon is gone.

Have not tried throwing an Otis bore snake in the wash yet. Which brings up a question?

Which you you guy's prefer and why? Bore snakes or rip cords?

[nf1e]

I haven't washed the Otis cable either. Just a quick wipe down on the plastic is all that's needed. It's the bore snakes that get the washing. I only use bore snakes on my older standard rifles, not on anything precision. They are a quick way to get the crud out.

The proof in the pudding, is staring down the bore after you run the snake. Hoppe's say's the cleaning area of the snake is 160x larger than using a standard patch and I believe it!

I use them, with all my firearms except for my .17 cal. and inside the barrel comes out looking brand new, with just two swipes, which is good enough for me !

I use bore snakes and an Otis kit. Since getting those the cleaning rod just hangs on the wall. When I 'feel' like the snakes are getting dirty, I'll hand wash them and just hang to dry.
