i found this really cool grapevine stick at a local discount petstore...its cool but i need help cleaning it. i know about the boiling water thing, but heres what i did. i boiled about 1gallon of water, and pured it in the bathtub along with the grapevine, since its the only thing to fit it. well thats all i boiled. i filled the rest with the hottest water my faucet could give, which is pretty darn hot. is this ok?
