How to prepare new wood for a cage?

[musicalbeardie]

My beardie has been looking really bored lately so I went to Petsmart and bought some pieces of wood and a new hide for him.

One is a zoo med mopani wood, one is all living things driftwood, and one is missing its tag but it looks like grape wood/vine.

These are all made for reptile enclosures, but i wasn't sure if I should clean them first? And how do i go about doing that?

I have a steam cleaner, but I don't have any organic liquid cleaner I would feel comfortable using in his cage.

You can bake them in the oven at low heat for 45 minutes or so. It should kill off any bacteria.
