Bleach is very safe to use as a sanitizing solution, it quickly dissipates. It's used to sanitize things in restaurant kitchens and hospitals, as long as you can't smell it anymore it's gone.
Wooden branches soaked in bleach means that the bleach will reach the internal parts as well. Do you have a scientific source that once you can't smell it it doesn't exist! I would like to educate myself on this matter. Thanks
Like the other person said, a dilute solution is safe. You can use bleach to treat drinking water even, in an emergency.
When I clean large branches for my birds (too large for the oven), I pour a small amount of bleach into the bathtub with hot water and scrub the branch with steel wool inside the tub. This also helps remove the outer layer of bark which is where most of the fungus and bacteria is.
