Rinse digging tools with a garden hose and use a wire brush or putty knife to get rid of caked-on dirt.
Give pruners, loppers or shears, a quick scrub with a nail brush and some soapy water.
If tools were exposed to diseased plants or pest-infected soil, give them a quick soak in a diluted solution of 2 cups household bleach mixed with 1 gallon of water, then rinse in plain water, or wipe with a cotton pad soaked with rubbing alcohol.
Always dry your tools thoroughly with a towel or rag.
