You don't think 80% rubbing alcohol would be more effective and cheaper?

Gut out the closet and install new drywall in there.
There aren't any "cheap" ways to truly get rid of mold infestations....why do you think mold abatement is so expensive?

It's not the building it's the monotub that got trich more then likely frm bad pasteurization then left marinating for about a month while i was in jail.

dont waste alcohol (drink it) or lysol (expensive)...clean with soapy water 2 or 3 times, exchange the air real good and go ahead.
Trich comes when you have stale air (not enough FAE) keep that in mind.

Yea...Well i think Im going to use a combination of lysol oust and rubbing alcohol. 1.Rub down all walls shelves and hard surfaces w/80% rubbing alcohol. 2.Use lysol for all surfaces that aren't capable of being scrubbed with rubbing alcohol curtains, mattress etc. 3.Fog the room with oust. 4.Wash anything that can be washed blankets clothing etc. 5.Keep air moving buy using the celling fan the window cracked and an oscillating fan in the closet. Ill do this a good four times before even trying anything im sure this will do the trick! All in all ill only be spending like 20$

Go to a beauty store or some mega stores in the beauty section and look for hair coloring kits. Pick up some 40vol hair coloring hydrogen peroxide. Dilute 10% with water and spray and let oxidize for a few minutes and then clean it up. Wear gloves as it does turn your fingers white. Try not to get the cream, try to get the clear liquid. This will kill spores, mold, via oxidation. Also, while your at it if you want to save a ton of money on teeth cleaning, mix with glycerin, fit a sports mouthgard to your teeth, spread the mixture on the mouth gard place into mouth for 1 hour, do this each day for 7 days and you'll have perfectly white teeth. It's what the dentists use, best kept secret. Anyway, enjoy!

Isopropanol (iso alcohol) 70% is dirt cheap. I also would highly discourage drinking it, as it's even more deadly than ethanol.
Here's the best compromise between cheapest, least toxic, and most effective means to sanitize the area.
1. Make up a solution of roughly 5% bleach and 5% vinegar, e.g. 1,000ml water, 50ml bleach, 50ml vinegar. Yes, the vinegar is very, very important. Place into a spray bottle.
2. Fill a separate spray bottle with 70% isopropanol.
3. Wash all surfaces to be disinfected with the vinegar/bleach solution, and let sit for a few minutes.
4. Wash all surfaces down again with the 70% isopropanol solution, and allow to air dry.
the combination of both will kill off virtually all the spores, which are the problem, and will also kill off most of the living molds. Bleach alone can and will kill off all of the living molds, but it needs to be kept wet for 15 minutes or more, which is impractical with most surfaces. Hence the combination of bleach/vinegar and isopropanol.
However, is/was there any visible mold spores on the walls? I get trich breakouts all the time on later flushes. Trich is everywhere. Even if you completely disinfect your grow area, all air in any household is stuffed with trich spores, so don't get too anal about it.

Also, to link to a page, all you need to do is copy the URL ("web address," which almost always starts with http://www.something-or-other...) and then paste the URL wherever you want the link to be. You'll notice the mere presence of the http://www. yields a link in the hypertext, even though it goes nowhere.
Here's an example of an actual link:

I don't think I can explain it any more than this. It's sort of like trying to explain to someone how to breathe. I think you're the first person I've met who didn't know how to post a link.

soap and water. trich isn't an uncontrollable monster that will doom you to failure forever if you don't kill it with fire, or chemicals. as was said, it's EVERYWHERE. i had an awfull trich outbreak awhile back, and barely cleaned the area at all after. i stopped my practice of casing with verm right out of the bag (no sterilization or even microwaving) and POOF!!! it's gone. i heard someone say recently that a fully colonized and healthy substrate WILL NOT contam if supplied with adequate fresh air. i'm inclined to agree.
