I found a cool way wash mine that takes no time. Pull out the top drawer of the dish washer and just tie them around the drawer and put it on a long cycle.
 
I hope you don't do that with anything else in the dishwasher at the same time. I'm not sure what chemicals you may be picking up off the snake and whether or not they'd be fully washed away.

For me, I'd rather have cleaning chemicals, lead fouling, etc., on my clothes than on something I have to eat off of, assuming it's not fully washed away.
 
2000 years from now when I build up enough chemicals in my body to kill me I will pm you and you can give me an I told you so.:)
 
I have a friend that waits for his wife to be out of the house, then he takes down all the ac registers and runs them thru the dishwasher. For the boresnake, I'll stick to soaking in a bucket of detergent.

You may mutate into one of those zombies we're all waiting to use for target practice before then. ;)
 
Just don't clean a bore snake too many times before pitching it and buying a new one.

Cleaning them does degrade the material, and when it gets weaker, it WILL snap off in the bore.
When you try to use the other end to pull it back, that end breaks too.

Then you got real trouble, because even the bore snake makers say they have NO recommended method of extracting them.

This is very much a case of "Penny wise, Dollar foolish". When you've washed them a time or two, buy a new one.

Haven't you heard, Zombies can do more than just eat brains. They can write Obama on a ballot which makes them a protected species. Sorry
