Soak or not soak plants/decor

If I treated my whole tank for columnaris is it necessary to soak my plants and decor in peroxide? If I soak them can I soak them in vinegar and if so how long? Same question if I soak them in peroxide?

As long as the plants are plastic, peroxide mixed 1/2 with water or straight vinager for one hour is plenty. If the plants are living, I would get someone else's advice...please specify about the plants.

Then just give them a good soak for an hour. You could also soak them ib a bucket of water with a 1/4 cup of bleach. The bleach rinces off easily. Soak them in the bleach solution for 1/2 hour rince them off and dump and rince the bucket. Then put more clean water with 3 tablespoons of chlorine remover for an hour. Use Prime or whatever brand of water conditioner you have for your tank. Then they will be ready to go back in the tank.
