Ok,,I have this friend,,and he has a friend too, that this all happened to... "it goes like this:" He Bought "rye," and did all that with the grain. And even went as far as to get "Injector ports." for his jars. He made 20 jars of rye, and all came out uncontaminated. So he cased them,,in a mix of "PM,WC,CC,and all that." and then placed them in tubes, foiled, with needle punctures for any oxygen that may be needed.
8 days later they (the tubs) were fully colonized and ready for the "Grow chamber," so he placed them in there,,, and they started pinning,,was lookin real good for the dude. but THENNNNNNNNNNNNNNN,,,,, One Tub had a little Trichoderma on top of it. he did what he could,not knowing how to deal with it at this junctor. And a few days later,,there was some Trichoderma on top of another tub. then some on other tubs as well.
HOW do you get rid of Trichoderma once it has hit your tub? hydrogen Peroxide? Alcohol? Lysol? tell me so I can relay the message to this poor S.O.B./.. Tell me there a way,,when its just the upper casing,,, PLEASE!!! Its going to take over!!! Thanks, Mr K@

Take the tub outside and get rid of it asap.
But wait for another response id say, because im the type to never try and fix a trich problem. Instead I throw the whole shabang out

You can't. If it's already green, just toss it out. Or, if the weather is warm enough, take the tub outside and place it somewhere out of direct sunlight and just let it do its thing and hope for the best.
The only way to fight trichoderma is to pay very close attention to sterility and sanitation. Proper sterilization of the grain spawn, proper pasteurization of the substrate mix, using a still-air box or flowhood for inoculations, etc, etc.
If you catch trich before it sporulates (while it's still white), you can apply a salt paste over the infected area to help push it through the flush. It should still be tossed out ASAP after the flush though.

not much can be done, best as suggested above is convert it to an outdoor grow.
Clean your grow rooms out and while removing the cakes do not open while inside.
