You don’t need to use special soaps or detergents. Just be sure that the tree was not sprayed with pesticides and chemicals.
Choose a relatively clean piece of wood, free of moss, mold, rot or large amounts of obvious dirt. I would try to strip off the bark if possible to ensure that there is not rot or mold under the bark.
Clean the wood with warm water mixed with vinegar to kill germs. Do not use soap which could be absorbed into the wood. After washing with vinegar, simply rinse until no vinegar smell remains. Let the wood dry naturally for a day or two. Then trim the branch to make a nice perch or toy.

I make all our birds perches and change them several times a year. Cherry or sycamore are my preferred mediums. Try to get branches with different sizes of offshoots, and with plenty of twists or bumps. This will help the birds to exercise their feet.

Good luck
