cleaning solution

[MarkN8705]

I have cut some branches from my crape myrtle that i am going to make into perches for my grey. What safe options do I have for cleaning the branches?

And in case you were interested, another link that lists safe and not safe woods to use. I linked this one specifically as it mentions the kind of wood you chose:

thanks azzie, i used a 10% bleach solution and sprayed down the branches really well, i rinsed them off and now they are drying outside.
