Personally its Boiling hot water, sometimes with soap (summer) sometimes not (winter)
Rust is a no problemo thing. Do remember to lightly oil the steel after scrubbing it.
When time is short, gasoline and a brush on my rod work quite well, getting dipped directly from my tank, often while Im actually activly engauged in hunting. Im thinking it flushes lot salt outta there, and 2 cycle lube oil protects it from rusting as I ride or walk, out in chilly salt spray or foggy damp Tundra, and its always on the boat or snowgo, rod on the M-39, bore brush in the Mosin cleaning kit, in my possibles bag.
