If you want to sterilize perlite, just do it like you do anything else... dump it all into an oven bag, or load it into jars and pc at 15 psi for atleast 25 minutes.

I am cooking it in the oven since I am storeing it + if I put it in jars theyd still be wet. I am just cleaning it and then going to put it in a safeway bag. I had a contam on my poo and its grossness got in the water. I am ovening it at 450 but I do NOT wanna burn it. That is why I am asking.

So you're basically wondering if 450 degrees will burn your perlite? I don't know, but it seems kind of pointless to me. I really don't think it would have any ill effects, but I don't know. It will definately dry it out fine and will sterilize it, but if you just take the lid off your container, the perlite will be bone dry within a few days. You can just sterilize it in a pc where it will stay adequately dry and then store it either in a bag or jars.

i garuntee you wont burn it. perlite is made at temps near 1000F in the first place. 450 will sterilize the hell out of it.

tossin' it in a tray in the oven at high heat is the easiest way... he's got it right already. no fuss no mess a quick bake and its clean and dry... perfect for storing it for later use as he plans on doing. i know ya'll spent loads no your PCs and like to use them for everything to justify that... but hey, keep it simple!
