You should use normal surface desinfection liquid (not hand desinfection). It is used in hospitals too. You shoud find this at ebay for e.g.
After a while the alcohol is gone and thats it.

But you shouldn´t forget that this needn´t kill parasites !!!

If you don´t want to use the hardcore chemical way, you should put the decoration parts in the oven, freezer or best way throw it on the rubbish dump

Yes..... it´s the safest way to get rid of the shit.

If you have natural parts like wood, stones or something else the oven version is very good.
They should survive about 120° C for a while and that should kill your parasites.
And palstic stuff could be cleaned by surface desinfection.

I use clorine, 1 cup in 4 liters of water (20 minutes)... the next, i use water y more water... non problem. It's very easy..

best regards

Rinse the items with a strong stream of water. Then let them sundry for a few days turning the items so all sides are exposed to direct sunlight. I hate using chemicals around my snakes. Nothing beats UV!

I use Chlorhexidine Solution extensively in my collection. You mix 1 ounce of solution in a spray bottle and you can use it as a topical spray for cuts and abrasions and also be used for cleaning cages and supplies. Veternarians also use and recommend it. Will not harm your animals.

interesting ideas aal of them, I use chlorine or chlorexidine and then brushthem hard again with soap and then rinse them very very well making sure you removed all the chemicals and then let them dry in the sun, works very well adn is harmless o reptiles and amphibians

Easiest way to do that is put them to a sauna ... 80 - 120 degrees celcius ( 1-2 hours) and no chemicals ... really safe for snakes.

Using also the "sauna", really good and safe with no trace of chemicals, but then agen, we are finns with saunas

Guys, even in Austria many private homes already have a sauna

... there is so many kind of "saunas" ... but if there are Harvia sauna stoves on those saunas they might be like real saunas . Gunther I believe that in Austria and Germany people have quite a good saunas ...

I also think that chlorexidine is good. The trick is to get the right mix to kill both gram positive and gram negative bacteria.
Even Sodium hypochlorite at 4% will do this and costs nothing.
QAC (Quatenary ammonium compound) or food grade disinfectants with a neutral (7.2pH) will also work perfectly.
