Personally, I wouldn't feel comfortable boiling BG's. I usually just strip them in the washer. Make sure your hot water heater is cranked up as high as it can go and has been on long enough to not run out of hot water while you're trying...

...which brings me to another question: What can "they" (DCF etc.) really do to you if they found out? UP/UC isn't really illegal, just not encouraged. Most people look at it like you're being irresponsible. Even if they were...
