[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 504623, member: 1211"] In all likelihood, you're adding bacteria and contaminants in your dishwasher and with your kitchen towel. Some of these new dishwashers and new frontloader clothes washers have sanitize modes, which I'm assuming is there for people with infants. It takes very little to re-contaminate a surface. Oh, you just touched the water lever/knob to shut off the water after washing your hands? Oh, you just answered your phone? Oh, you just moved the trashed can? Oh, you just swiped the top of your counter to see if it was clean or dry? Oh, you just opened the box that has your new tobacco? Not to be a germaphobe (I am, actually), but worrying about bacteria and whatnot in your tobacco jarring process can very easily be one step forward and two steps back. The more you mess with the jars, the greater the chance for recontamination. The jars and lids straight out of their boxes are every bit as clean as you need them to be for tobacco. In all likelihood, they're already [i]cleaner[/i] than you need them to be. [/QUOTE]
