Default Am I going to kill All my Fishes?

Mine is 55Gal heavily planted tank. When I was on vacation (one month) I
left my tank without maintenance and I got lot of algae in my tank. At

that
time I removed ,my Driftwood from tank for cleaning purpose. But I left it
my garage in a bucket full of water. This drift wood has some kind of

algae
that I am not able to remove it with a nylon a brush. This algae is like
small fans (max 1cm) or small clumps (more of a black color).

Today I wanted to place that drift wood back into my tank so I added a cup
of "Clorox" in that bucket. I will wash the driftwood again with plenty of
water. But when I put it back will it leach "chlorine" and kill all my
fishes?

soak and rinse it with water that has been heavily treated with
declorinator. from my understanding that is the best way to nullify the
bleach remnants.
