Sterilising/disinfecting Wood

Hi all
I'm being given 2 big pieces of driftwood for free tomorrow, which I'm wanting to use in my corn snake viv.
They were bought from a craft shop / garden centre (apparently already bleached etc) and have only been used as props for some indoor photography.
I'm wondering whether I should maybe disinfect them anyway, just to be on the safe side, and I'm wondering whether just some reptile Disinfectant and a rinse would be enough or whether I need to do the the boiling, baking, bleaching and whatever you do.
As always, any help is much appreciated.

put them in the oven under low heat (250 degrees) for about an hour or 2. it will kill anything in there but not hurt the wood.
 
Ok, so they don't fit in the oven.
I'm wondering if I need to do much with them as they have been bleached and everything before they were bought.
They look clean, (obviously I know you can't see germs) I'm wondering if they'll be OK with just a spray down with some reptile safe Disinfectant and a good rinse?
