From a man, I learned to place a dish rag on the top rack of a dishwasher with a cup or something to hold it down and let it go through a cycle. That freshens them up and keeps them clean!

It gets superheated and can't release the bubbles. You can get scalded. Put a toothpick on top of the water before microwaving it.
