100 watt aquarium heaters are under $30 (even cheaper on EBay) which are about half the price of a heat pad. As for sterilizing them use Star san in a spray bottle once you have washed them. Pop them in and use glad wrap over the mouth of the fermenter held in place with rubber bands.
This is how I do all my washes and have not had a problem yet.
The amount of CO2 that the yeast gives off will kill any nasties that try to get in to the fermenter. CO2 is heavier than air so it will sit on top of your wash.
