Easiest way is to add chlorine, but there are a number of ways. It also depends on what micro organism you're trying to kill. In general boiling the water or adding chlorine will do the job. Doing both would make you extremely safe.

The absolute safest way to kill any microorganism in or on anything, is to use an autoclave machine if you have the equipment available.
