I've been using some 2/3 year old compost, but it seems to be full
of weed seeds, I've tried putting some in the microwave but I'm not
sure it's been detrimental to the compost.

So what is the best/simplest way of getting rid of unwanted weed
seeds in compost?

How do commercial suppliers do it?

What quantity do you want to treat.

You could try a steam wallpaper stripper that would probably treat a
tray every 5 minutes. No much use if yo need to deal with a lot of
trays, but OK for the home gardener.
