While it certainly can't hurt to clean/bake/whatever if you feel like it, it is definitely not required. I have been using outdoor materials for decades and never sterilized them. Never had a problem. This has come up before and dozens of people have had similar experience. Never heard of anyone having a problem other than a few benign insects in the cage, or a couple of mushrooms growing if its in a humid viv.
