I am not aware of freezing as a method of sterilization. Wetting the substrate then, “cooking" it is what I would suggest.

RE: sterilizing
Freezing won't sterilize it, but will help to keep any bugs down for a while. The best way it to bake it or boil it. As for how long to freeze it, I froze my coconut coir once and left it in over night. Again, though, I then found that baking it worked better.

Put it in natural sunlight. UV rays will sterilize it.
