My Encore is one of the only m/l I own that I do not use hot water to clean but instead start with a bp solvent then Hoppes and then a quality oil to protect the bore when done. I will use some water at the range to clean between shots because it does a great job breaking down the Triple Se7en crud ring. (or what I call just plain fouling).

I do not have the blowback problem Doegirl has with mine so I just clean the breech and all with CLP or any quality cleaning product.
