+1 I washed my big centerpiece off and stuck it straight in. No problems, though you may find a few bugs crawling in your water the next day!should not be a problem. I would put in as are. cleaning them was the only big part.
What do you mean by "brine?" Assuming a typo. I'm about to go DW hunting this weekend and would love some tips on cleaning.I brine mine in the bath tub for a few days... Better safe than sorry.
