If they've been 'dry' in the shed for three months or more then they will be
'clean' from a fish disease pov.

If you're a once a week angler you'll find that very little survives if you
just hang the nets up to dry in daylight - the uv kills everything in time.

What you shouldn't do is go from one water to another without giving the
nets time to dry. In this case a chlorine based disinfective works well but
may well damage the mesh. Phenolics are ok for most purposes but might be
considered unsuitable in some cases.

Boiling works too.

Cheerio,
