I bought two plugs. Once I use the one I remove it and put it into a small bottle with a lid with t/c 17 cleaner in it. Make sure it covers the entire plug. Leave it over night. Next day use a 1/8 drill bit (hand turn) to clean out the bulk crud. Then, brush the threads. then run hot water through it.
It now takes me about two minutes to clean the plug. Another two minutes to re-Teflon tape it and lube for the next shooting session.
