Question about spraying down with bleach

Does the smell of bleach if sprayed in an enclosed glovebox kill mycelium or there has to be dirct contact with the spray for it to kill mycelium? Im asking becuase ive heard that its a good idea to spray down ones glovebox b4 opening up any jars or petri dishes and im wondering if once opening lids inside of the glovebox if the smell of the bleach will harm the mycelium or not (since the glovebox is enclosed and the strong smell gets trapped in)

I don't think so. I usually spray mine down with lysole and then wait a few so I don't blow up my glovebox again. Oh, and your diluting the bleach right? You don't wanna use 100% bleach for anything I think.

All you need is soapy water. No need for the bleach. You just want still air and for all the floating particles inside to be caught by the soapy mist when you mist the inside and they will stick to the walls and the bottom of the SAB (still air box). Also if you have gloves attached to it ditch them.

Agreed but I still clean my SAB with 10% bleach and a paper towel though and work on a 10% bleach soaked towel with the tub turned upside down. I like bleach...

Bleach doesn't kill mycelium. I've dunked in ten percent bleach before.(not recommended for normal use, but it makes a point) RR

Can anyone provide some reading on the topic of "Upside down on a bleached towel vs soapy water and a lid"?
I've just completed my SAB and I'm debating this to my self right now.
Any help would be great.
Edit: There's a topic going on about it right now. Here
