Can anyone share the bacteria info sheet on stones?

In summary, the recommended method for cleaning and sanitizing Stones is to wash them with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge, and to sanitize them by placing them in a 375°F oven for 15 minutes or running them through a dishwasher cycle. It is recommended to clean Stones after each use and deep clean and sanitize them at least once a month if used frequently. Stones can be used for both raw meat and vegetables, but it is important to clean and sanitize them in between uses to prevent cross-contamination. If Stones become discolored, they can be cleaned with a mixture of baking soda and water, but abrasive cleaners should be avoided. Stones are not safe to use in the microwave as they can crack or break

In the Stoneware Inspirations cookbook it states on the end of page 7 "If you store Stoneware on a rack in the oven, be sure to remove the pieces before turning on the oven.

On the Product Information Guide it states that the stones are virtually non porus.

I usually explain what this sheet says about the difference between cleaning and sanitizing. Cleaning is the use of water, soap and friction to remove food particles.
Sanitizing is trying to remove a majority of the bacteria that may be present. That requires soaking an item in 180 degee water (which none of our home hot water heaters heat to) or the use of chemicals such as a small amount of bleach diluted in water (item must be submersed (sp?) for at least one full minute. Or there is a chemical called quants. These would ruin a stone for sure.

Hope this helps. It can be very confusing!
