 Kind of an emergency...not sure if I should save my old cakes...

Okay, so my first flush of 6 cakes is almot complete. I have an additional 5 cakes that have just been dunked and rolled for the first time and are ready to be put into the fruiting chamber.
the problem is that what I originally thought was bruising on my cakes is actually cobweb. I noticed this when some of the bluish grey mycelium started to rub off when I was removing two stalled cakes. After reading a lot on contams I am now 99% sure its cobweb.
the rest of the infected cakes are fruiting alright and the mushrooms seem healthy. they should be done tomorrow.
here is my plan: temporarily store the freshly dunked and rolled cakes in my glove box with frequent misting untill the cakes are finished. once the cakes finish, I will harvest and then wipe the cake down with H202. After that I will dunk the cakes for 24 hours in a 40/60 H202/water solution.
then, I will clean the shit out of my FC and grow area and put all the new and second flush(cobweb) cakes in together.
I'm just looking for a little feedback. is this a good idea or should I not risk contamination of my 5 new cakes and throw the old ones out?
Is the idea of leaving the new cakes in the glovebox for around 24 hours a good idea or should I harvest early, clean out my fc now and put the new cakes directly into my FC?

just spray the infected cakes with diluted hydrogen peroxide. i spray mine with diluted peroxide once a week for safety(my grow room is in the basement<
simply mix 3 parts hydrogen peroxide with 7 parts water. put this into a spray bottle and lightly spray the cakes 3 times a day.

I doubt you have cobweb on a flushing cake. Just because the 'color' rubs off isn't a good indication of contamination, despite what you read elsewhere. You might want to post a picture.
