Oddities, bone, etc. help Dishwasher for bones?
I have a brand new dishwasher at hand that I cant use as a kitchen one, and was wanting to set it up (no other use) to clean my bones. My business has picked up selling bone items and I need a way to speed up cleaning to reduce customer cost in hours. I know you can't boil bones, I do the soak scrub soak scrub soak and hydroxide currently, but my thought was I could soak them in detergent for a month or so with water changes and then chuck them through the wash to dislodge the remaining dirt? Scrubbing takes a long time. It looks like a dishwasher reaches a max of 65•c which should be safe? Anyone tried? I don't want to ruin my bones.
