Powerwasher(or hose with nozzle if dont have one) is great for getting any detritus/old algae off.
After that i would just let soak in rodi water. Then replace with saltwater and start curing it.

It will take a while for any organic material stuck to it to break down and decompose. I would put it in saltwater with a powerhead (in a brute garbage can or plastic tote, with a lid) and then do water change every couple weeks until it no longer smells (it’ll probably have a faint oceany smell, but not a rotten fish smell) and the water is clear.
