new method for cleaning air-filter

[Krandall]

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. 

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.

tastes good with a fine wine. 

Krandall, I am still cracking about that night. "wife is coming home early, gotta split"

this is what i normally do. i was wondering, would this cross-contaminate too?? so if u go this far..why not try the dishwasher.

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

Can also put a sponge in a microwave for 30 seconds.

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