I have a gorgeous piece of many that I found and I want to put in my aquarium but it has too many crevices to clean, it's tonight to put in a pot, and i don't want it to mess up my water. So how do I sterilize it totally?
OK if it's small enough to fit in a 10g then put it in the kitchen sink and cover as much as possible with boiling water. Rotate to soak all areas. OS.
If it can fit in the oven you could put it in there at 250 for a couple hours to kill everything. This will dry it out, so you might have to resoak it so it will sink.
I hot it from th neighborhood and I have a hot water spout on my kitchen so I will use that, it is closer to boiling than anything else. Couldn't it burn in the oven?
