Soaking bowling ball question

[HughScot]

Several months ago I contacted both Ebonite and Hammer and they both came back and said to soak in very hot water for 10 to 15 minutes with a little dawn. They didn't like the dishwasher or stove ideas. I keep my thumb hole plugged.
(yes Ebonite owns Hammer)

..... I even baked my balls in the oven once at 170f and the only problem was the oven smoked from the oil when my wife went to bake later in the week.

And you say this is not a problem?? My wife would have my carcass buied under the dog house.

Do I have to drain my urathane ball? It feels a little slick.
