I tried to find more information on this method.

12,800 miles before code:

18 months and no code:

Almost 30,000 miles without a code:
P0420 / P0430 and a "Hail Mary Pass" (the "cat washing" thread) - Page 12 - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum
BamZipPow ran it through the dishwasher and has not had a code for 41,000 miles:
