Default How to clean Neem Oil from the sprayer?

How do you do it? When I cleaned it out of my 1 gallon sprayer, it just ruins the brush. I tried leaving the brush in vinegar but that didn't remove the oil from the bristles.

I've done a neem treatment using my hose end sprayer and it cleans easier but still has that greasy feeling.

I've been using Yucca as the spreading / wetting agent.

Thanks for your advice,
Barb

Like said above Dawn. If you can't use Dawn do to Organic constraints Dr. Bronner's or another Organic type of soap should work as well.
