still thinking bad idea, takes a lot of cleaning to remove petroleum products.  I wash mine in the sink, set it next to heater vent during winter, or window sill in the summer.  :lol:

what do you think about baking headers in an oven?  ???

350 deg , 20 minutes per pound then let cool for 10 minutes and serve with horseradish. Maybe a side of chilled greens. Enjoy.

I know a dishwasher gets hot enough to kill all bacteria in a sponge,and its the only thing that will do that.So how bad could it really be?i understand it causing problems with a pestiside.

Chemicals are not bacteria. I just spray with foam cleaner let sit for 15 min and through it in a hot bucket of water for about 30 minutes. Works great

+1 petroleum products cannot be  "killed" you must emulsify them to remove them.......via steam and/or heavy degreaser.  Even then, not reliable.
