Best way to disinfect tile?

I found some tile in my basement and I got it cut to size for my tank. I want to disinfect it before I put it in my tank. What is the best way to do this? I would like to avoid baking if possible because I don’t want the chemicals on the glaze to react with the heat.

I Use a Vinegar/water solution for daily cleaning, But If you want to sanitize it, I Would maybe use the F10 Disinfectant that is safe for reptiles I Believe. I Don't really have a link or much knowledge of F10, But I've heard It's a good cleaner for beardies tanks. :)

Give it a blast with hose under high pressure to blow and any loose or solid stuff off the surface , then sit the tile in a bath of F10 for 30 minutes , then take it out and let it stand and air dry....all done in under 1 hour.

Just bought some of the F10 SD in the green bottle off amazon.com (it's a prime product) along with my shipment of 400 BSFL I get from an amazon supplier.

Anything I should know about the f10. Going to use it for the tile and glass on my exoterra LARGE WIDE enclosure.

Oh Right! Blasting the tile with the hose (especially if you have a pressure washer attachment for it) Works great. I Totally forgot that part Lol.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
