It involves briefly boiling the item, which will kill bacterial cells, but not bacterial spores, allowing it to cool and allowing the spores to germinate, and then re-heating to kill the bacteria. This is usually done three times in total. This process is not particularly reliable, so is not often used today. [cite journal |author=Gould GW |title=History of science--spores |journal=J. Appl.
