Sanitizing outdoor rocks

I found the perfect basking rock for Chloe today in our back yard. I scrubbed it with antibacterial soap and am boiling it for about a half an hour. Has anyone used natural material like a rock from the outdoors for their dragons tank? How did you sanitize it?
Thanks!

I have for my aquarium. I did a bleach soke (1/19 bleach/water). Then used a decloranator then let it air dry for a week then rewashed(just water)

Ive used many rocks from outside. Just give them a good scrub and they are fine. There is nothing that lives on a rock that would be dangerous to your dragon. You can use a vinegar solution or a quat cleaner (F10 for instance) if you are really worried about it, or the boiling you did will also do the trick without any question too.
