    I think my rotor may be contaminated. Is this an effective method of cleansing?

    should work, don't see why not.

    Probably. But you might poison yourself/your family. And the salty water may rust/corrode your rotor.

    Will the salt not make it rust?

    Meths or IPA (Not Greene King though!)

    Dunno, i find that just giving them a bloody good scrub in the sink with fairy or what not works, do the dishwasher thing then that?

    Have put a few things in the dishwasher then given them a good rinse after, no worries.

    One of them steralising wipes should work ok!

    Or dunk it in some water after the dishwasher and dry it on a towel, and put the dishwasher on a clean rinse when you're done 😆

    Contaminated? Pads get contaminated, rotors get 'cleaned' everytime you brake. At best, I'd give them a wash on the bike. Can't really see the point in using the dishwasher.

    Oven, 200 degrees, 20 minutes.

    Meths & set light to them.
    Seriously.

    Remove from bike first ideally.

    If you don't have any Isopropyl Alcohol, just rub some dish-washing soap on them and rinse with kettle of boiling water. It's literally a two-minute job (once the kettle's boiled!).
