Perlite reusable?

I was wondering if perlite is reusable? If so can you put it in your dehydrator?

Rinse it, strain it, and throw it in the oven. 400-450 deg F for 45 mins, good as new!

Whats the point of the oven?
I just put a shitload in a huge pasta strainer (used perlite) then rinse the fuck out of it, dump a bunch of H202, rinse the fuck out of it, then add to my FCs.
Is baking for sterilization?

Yes..baking dries it out and kills anything.......
It worked for pot when I would get a little alge. Bleach rinse and bake in the oven.
It's a mineral, it can take it.
