Making beach rocks safe

[Gtxollie1]

I was on holiday in cornwall and I like up some slate and other bits for Embers Viv as it is very bare. They were found on the beach. I was wondering how I can make them safe. Would it be safe if I boil them and then scrub them with a vivarium disinfectant ? The disinfectant claims to kill 99% of bacteria, viruses and mold. It IS SAFE FOR REPTILES. Would this work? If not, please can you leave suggestions. I heard baking would work but this would be easiest. Thanks.

That could probably work, though i prefer washing with warm water or boiling them, drying them off and then baking at 250f for 30 minutes.

The only problem I have with baking is that can't it be dangerous as it could explode or crack ?

Washing them with boiling water + reptile safe disinfectant or you can go with red wine vinegar [ stronger than bleach ] will work. I bake my wood + logs that I collect from outside but never the rocks. They will be fine with a good washing.
