mix one part bleach to 10 parts water ... will the branch fit in the tub??? if not, you can do it outside ...
it's better if you can soak the branch or repeatedly pour the bleach solution over it, but a spray bottle will work too (your hand just tends to get tired!) ... *soak* it down, wait 15-30 minutes, soak it down again ... let it sit another 1/2 hour ... rinse well with water ... let it dry thoroughly, *2-3 days*, before putting it in with your ig!!! you want to be *sure* the bleach fumes have gone ...
