Best way to clean spawn jar lids

Hi
I had contaminated jars in my previous spawn jars, and I know that it was because I didn't clean the lids well enough.
How do you guys clean your jar lids? I have lids with injection ports attached with silicon, some has synthetic filter discs etc. Should I be afraid of getting any of that wet? How do I make sure that all the previous stuff is cleaned off. I can imagine some gets stuck under the silicon as well?

Soap + warm water and any remaining contams should be killed when you run the jars through the PC next time you use them

I don't clean my lids, doesn't the pc sterilize everything? As long as there is no debris preventing the lid from sealing properly, I don't think you should worry about it much. You should see some of the lids I use. They look pretty rough lol.
Do you use spore syringes directly to grain jars?

Same. I just get any oats/bits of myc off the lid and let the PC do the rest of the work. If I get mold in a jar I dump it, spray it down with the hose outside and then I'll use some soap and water.

Soap, water and a sponge. If your previous grow was infected, use some bleach-based spray cleaning solution.

I don't even bother to clean them. I just figured that everything is killed in the pressure cooker, so unless I have something growing on the filter I just reuse them as is.

Another vote for no cleaning of lids. How much time you got for wasting?

I DO use fresh micropore tape every time. I wouldn't trust that shit for more than 1 PC cycle. I just tape over the sticky mess that the old tape left behind tho.

With modded sfd lids sometimes they go in the dishwasher if they're fucky other times a quick hand rinse and back in a box till I'm ready to use them.

i dont really clean either more than a good wipe to remove anything stuck to it after breaking the myc up. and i still use the same jars ive been using a long time now but since they still have injection ports that i dont use cuz i drop agar wedges to knock them up with. but il take either my finger or a pointed object of some sort and pull out the cpl individual grains that tend to get stuck up in the port during the shake/breaking up process

It wasn't because you didn't clean the lids well enough. I just give a quick clean with soap and water, but seriously that's not even necessary because you will PC the next time.
I never use SFD's. I don't know whether getting them wet is a problem. Shoving polyfil into the hole is a 5 minute nuisance, but it works every time.
