Cleaning shells

After swapping out shells, do you just rinse them off in dechlor water or do you wash then boil?

I'm really lazy... I put them all in a giant microwave safe plastic bowl filled with dechlored water, and microwave them until it starts to boil...then I gently dump them into a collander, give them all a dip in saltwater, and back in they go. If I'm really lazy I just fill the bowl with saltwater to begin with, though that can dull the shells over time.
