| I simply give my logs branches a good old scrub with hot water if they look like they need it. I don't use bleach and other chemicals as I feel it is neccessary. I then let the wood dry well, usually in the green house. As long as you are 100% they are not cedar or pine. |

We pour boiling water over anything we get from outside and then leave wood to soak in the bath in a 10% bleach solution. We then rinse it several times and leave it to dry in our airing cupboard for a few days.
We do remove bark on certain pieces as well. Best to be safe :) |

| As above, if they are small you can pop them in the oven, not sure on temp and time length though |
