My room of doom.

So I had a few great runs at first but after the first ones, I keep catching green contams. I think its Trich.
It seems to be coming up all of the time now, so I am sure the spores are floating around the room, causing all sorts of doom and gloom on my grows.
My question is..whats the best method to clean a room and get those nasty fuckers OUT!?

I use one, thanks.
All of my runs are good untill they get into the FC to fruit. They go through a flush and come down with trich after that usually. I cleaned the FC too.

I really don't know how to help. I have seen several posts here where people have had this same problem, and have to quit using the room they cultivate in. What I mean is...Is to designate an area that only is to be entered to fan, or mist...Etc. Do not enter otherwise. Stirring up the air causes the spores to move around as you know, and that's my guess as far as where they are coming from.
If your FC is on the floor get it off of the floor. Put it up on a table somewhere...Especially if it's on carpet.

cultivation aside, contams scare me. maybe im one of "those" ppl
remove everything from the room and completly sterilze it with mold killin corrosives. if you have to keep stuff in it, sterilize it before and after you put it back in the room as best as possible.
my house is over 100 years old. some rooms have gotten mold, its icky.

I went through a bad patch of trichoderma and bacteria. Similar problems, growth was fine until flush and then it would start coming up in patches.
What made the difference for me was washing the walls, floor, furniture, everything except the ceiling with a 10% bleach solution. I did that on Fridays for two successive weeks and my contam rates dropped to below 2% from a high of about 80%. The room is fine and I use it as my main inoculation etc room. Once a month or when I remember I wash the whole place out and that keeps me clear of nasty green spores.

I've always found 'getting lazy' with my techniques inevitably led to trich contamination. Pasteurization of subs was my weak point for a few batches... I'd get a good flush going & then the nasty green would start to show...
Whenever I get contams, I try to do a postmortem of the tray to see where the contam came from. My trays were usually much more green inside than what was showing on the surface... so I switched back to RR's pasteurization tek & have been fine.
