It may not need soaking, but it'd be nice to clean it somehow...maybe you could put it in a really hot bath for a while? I think the goal would be to kill any critters that might still be in it (and also give you a heads up on if it floats...)
At the very least I'd hose it off really well and leave it in the sunniest spot I could find. If you can fit in in an oven, even better...bake at around 225 for several hours (before hosing off I think--don't want all that steam!).
