“Anyone have information on paper including money and checks. I guess one could iron those.”

I would consider it cardboard - but then the plastic windows...

I put our mail in the toaster oven at 200 for 10 minutes. The plastic melts a little bit. I know my temp and time is a bit on the high side.

Ironing money or leaving out in direct sunlight are two ways that I saw, to disinfect money, on the interwebs.

I can’t find anything about disinfecting mail.

Weird.

Temp is high, but time is low based on the suggestions I’ve seen. 165 for 15? I’d do more research.
