You could let everything dry out for several day then wash/soak it all in a vinegar/water solution.

You would want to rinse well before using. You don't need much...maybe something like a 5:1 water to vinegar solution.

I would just wash them thoroughly with freshwater. You could rinse in a vinegar solution then rinse if you see fit. Vinegar is a safe cleaner that we use all the time for stubborn coralline. Great way to clean pumps is to make up a vinegar/water solution and let the pumps run. Just rinse in freshwater when you're finished. I generally use a 50/50 solution but if I need to clean in a hurry I will do straight vinegar. Just depends on how much I need to mix up.
