For plastic pots I thoroughly wash to remove organic debris then soak in a 10 percent bleach solution. For organic material like wood I bake them for 15 minutes or so at 250 degrees Fahrenheit if I feel sterilization is necessary.

I clean plastic pots with soap and water. Then I immerse them in a microwave safe pot and nuke the lot for a minute.
