Safe to clean Aneros in the dishwasher?

I hope you are kidding about putting it in the dishwasher.

Best way to wash is with lots of soap under hot running water immediately after use (in the bathroom, not the kitchen), then dry with a tissue and apply a little baby powder (cornstarch, not talc) to keep it fresh. Store wrapped in tissue and wipe off the baby powder before next use.

Not kidding at all. I mean, obviously you wouldn't put it in at the same time as the dishes, but it seems a good way to get a high temperature sterile wash for the unit as long as the dishwasher detergent doesn't do you any harm. This will clean it at far higher temperatures than you could achieve by running it under the hot tap.

i think all of this is overkill.

just wash with soap and water and forget it. it doesn't need to be disinfected. nothing is going to grow on it while it is dry, and, if it did, it would be something that is already populating your rectum.

an analogy: do you disinfect your toothbrush?

Thanks darwin, point taken.

Just wanted to know if it's safe, though, as it's very convenient to simply pop it in the dishwasher, nothing really to do with going overboard on the hygiene aspects.
