    I prefer folding trombone slides in thirds and putting them in the 
microwave
for three or four minutes
Cornets will usually fit without folding as will clarinets.  Reduce the 
time
by about a minute.  Drums usually don't need to be sanitized ( 
depending on
the drummer) but drumsticks can be put in with the clarinets.  Tubas 
usually
won't fit in the microwave however Drano works.  Banjos are sanitized 
and
tuned at the factory and need little care in this regard although a 
little
Febreze helps.
