Mice

17 years ago

I found a mouse nest in a bag of glasses I had packed away in my shed. Not sure if they can be cleaned and sanitized for drinking out of or if they just need to be thrown out for safety sake. I say throw them out my husband says keep them. Thank you....

Run them through the dishwasher, or hand wash them in hot soapy water, rinse in hot water.

That will kill any pathogens I can think of that mice might (note i say MIGHT) have.

I agree plenty of hot, soapy water will do the trick. You could soak them in some diluted bleach water, if it would make you feel better.
