any chance at all you can take all the wood out and brush them (with your hands) in a bucket of the same aquarium water? then do a water change?

How you do you water change?
With hose, just run the hose along the wood, remove as much of the dirt as possible.
Or can use some pleco to clean the wood, any from the Panaque family will do a wonderful job.
Anyway since you have substrate in the bottom, the dirt will just collect there and you have a harder time clearing it.
Or use those gravel cleaner to run through the substrate and wood.
