Note: boresnakes are washable. Put it in a pillowcase and throw it in the washer when it gets dirty.
Do not use one of your wife's GOOD pillow cases...ask her for an old one or buy your own to use just for boresnake cleaning. Can also clean shop rags in there .
I use 2 snakes one for cleaning and one for lube. The lube snake doesn't require washing as often as the cleaning snake.
