A pull through with different sized patches. Get hold of some 50lb fishing line and make a long loop knotted at one end, make it longer than the barrel!
Feed the end without a knot into a drinking straw, push that down the silencer until it meets the crown, push the loop through to the breech, pop in a patch and pull back through.
For a thorough clean use an oiled patch a couple of times and then a dry one til it comes out clean. Often just two pulls with a dry patch is enough. You can buy packs of patches or just cut some from an old cotton T shirt. Don't make them too big!

And don't clean it too often, groups opening up is one tell tail, most barrels like a bit of lead residue.

I personally use Ballistol as my gun care liquid.

I bought my 500ml can when it cost me about £8.50 (around eight years ago) I still have about half of it left.
I keep a small plastic bottle of it in my shooting kit, and a 4" square of old tee shirt in a ziploc bag.
It is truly astounding stuff and can be used on wood, leather, metal, plastics, skin (it is a very good disinfectant)
