The bleach would make me very nervous and I have used found driftwood in my tanks as well, but never used bleach.
To get the wood water logged may take awhile, and I just add heavy rocks on top of the wood til the day I dont need them anymore to weigh the wood down. Depends on the type of wood how long it may take.

I personally would not want my driftwood to float at the top of the tank, and I always end up putting rocks on top to hold it down. Do you know what kind of driftwood you are using?
