I scrub any dirt off with soap and water, spray with bleach solution diluted 1:20 let it sit for 20 minutes, rinse thoroughly, let dry and then cut and place in cage.
 
I usually debark the branches that I find to make sure any dirt or parasites on the outside get stripped away.
 
I feel like disinfecting anything is over rated. Unless it came from another sick reptiles enclosure, I don’t really clean anything. Well, if I know it came from a sick reptile, I just wouldn’t use it.
 
Different parts of the US have different infestations of bugs. Depending on the wood type, I would try to remove bark if possible & use a bleach solution, wait 20 min, rinse well, let dry.
