I've never had to clean pieces rhat

So how do you guys clean your large pieces of found driftwood? Too big for a trash can and my oven... Going to soak as much as I can and tie it down in my tank after it's clean. As for cleaning it though.
Alright cool. It was sitting out in the sun when I found it. A beach was cleared at a lake that I go to and it was in a stack for firewood. It's soaking right now so if there's not any tannins I'll weight it down and put it in today. Carbon removes tannis right?

Hello again Garb...
Never noticed tannic acid leached from local pieces of driftwood. That's not the case with the stuff you get at the pet store. Carbon (chemical medium) will remove the amber color somewhat. But, the standard water change does a much better job, for me. The tannic acid is harmless. Might lower the pH of the water a bit, but nothing to worry about. Just change out the tank water.
