I learned in my microbiology course that an autoclave is effective at killing spores produced from bacteria. The device heats up to 121 degrees Celsius and exposes any thing inside of it to high pressure. There may be other ways but this is usally 100%

Bacterial spores are far more resistant to disinfectants than non-spore forming bacteria. As a result, bacterial spores are more virulent and therefore more capable of causing disease since they can survive most methods that kill 'normal' bacteria...
Describe the similarities and differences of antibiotics and disinfectants?
One similarity is that both antibiotics and disinfectants help keep people healthy. The difference is antibiotics inhibit or kill microorganisms while disinfectants only kill them.

Briefly discuss disinfection and antisepsis in relation to patient care?
Disinfectants are applied to non-living objects to destroy microorganisms that are living there, such as machines or objects in a patient's room. Disinfection does not necessarily kill all microorganisms, especially resistant bacterial spores; it is less effective than sterilization. Disinfectants are different from antiseptics, which destroy microorganisms on living tissue.
Does boiling water kill spores?
Boiling water does kill spores. This is because spores are like tiny plants in storage so the boiling water harms them.
Why can't disinfectants used to clean skin?
