Not too sure about the others, but to treat logs and outside stuffs you wash them with a formula called F10. I think, feel free to correct me if im wrong.
Rocks you can wash with waters and put in the oven for a bit, just not too long or the rocks will explode:|

i just throw timber out in the backyard take a second look then forget for few months to dry out naturally ( time varies for width and type) then i suspend them and spray them with a F10 and let it soak thru
and it;s a matter of fitting the timber to cage

When finding decent branches or logs to use from the back garden all I basically do is, pour boiling water over them and then scrub them, I repeat this process until all of the dirt etc has come off the log - you can tell because when you pour the boiling water over the log the water should just run clean, Then I let it sun dry for a couple of days - if the log still looks like it has some stuff on it, I will repeat the process.

F10 is an antiseptic that is generally used for killing mites and ensuring that the enclosure and equipment is sterile, vets use it and you will be able to buy some at your local vet, if they don't have any then I am sure that they will be able to order it.

A 2 second google would of given you all of the informaiton the you require regarding F10.

I believe that you can use bleach, however I am not sure or the dilution rate.
