When I washed mine, they wouldn't go anywhere near momma's washing machine; rather a small bucket with hot water and Dawn (no substitute). Swish around for a few minutes, drain, rinse, drain, hang to dry.
For those who insist on using them in a .223 barrel, do your self a favor and tie a length of paracord to the back loop end. That way, when the pull cord breaks off with the entire snake in the barrel (and it WILL happen), you have a way to remove the snake by going backwards
