How to clean your cleaning tools for firearms

I'm starting to feel like my brushes and bore cleaners are actually making my firearms dirtier after I clean them.
Anybody know what to use? I read around the web, but this place has never steered me wrong.
Soap and water? Mineral oil?

I hand wash my bore snakes...brushes I will spray with a bore cleaner and then hit them with a little CLP...
I also use patches so I just throw them away after.

After I spray with bore cleaner I wipe them off then I hit them with some CLP and store them.

Nope.
B-R-A-K-E Cleaner.
Then let it air dry.

I use cleaning rods, not bore snakes. I wipe the cleaning rod before starting another series of passes down the bore. Bore brushes cost a couple bucks apiece. If the bore brush is dirty enough to be cleaned, it's probably also old enough to be worn. I always keep a few new bore brushes on hand and change when the brush starts getting worn. I've read of some who spray their bore brushes down w/ brake cleaner after each cleaning session. I find myself using the foam bore cleaners more and more......
