Ok people. I cut and pasted from own archive...


Having clean and sanitary conditions surrounding your operation can not be stressed enough. There is no such thing as “too clean” in this hobby. The ideal habitat that the cultivator creates for fungi, is also ideal for contaminants. Bleach kills complex organisms and colonies, hydrogen peroxide kills spores, isopropyl alcohol kills simple and single organisms. Quaternary ammonium compounds (QUAT CLEANERS) are excellent surface cleaners, (Mr. Clean, 409 multisurface antibacterial, Spic and Span Disinfectant in spray bottle) look for active ingredients on labels containing the word ammonium chloride. i.e.

n-n dimethly ammonium chloride

or

benzyl ammonium chloride.

QUAT CLEANERS ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE GENERAL CLEANER YOU CAN USE IN YOUR HOME OR WORK SPACE.  DWELL TIME IS VERY IMPORTANT WHEN USING QUATS, or BLEACH SOLUTIONS.  I let dwell 5 min for quats, and 10 min for bleach.  I use it for cleaning all counter tops, walls, everything...you can even use it your carpet cleaning solution if you plan on cleaning your carpets anytime soon.

I get a concentrated quat cleaner in the humidifier department, sold for disinfecting humidifiers. My local chemical supplier also sells concentrated quats by the gallon for about $16 bucks. The concentrate is awesome because it actually makes about 55 gallons of solution, and I just mix up what I need, when I need it.

Clorox brand aerosol usually contains quats, and most generic brand disinfectant aerosols will contain quats.

Lysol brand aerosol will vary by region for some reason, and often times contains saccharides and pentols/alcohol, rather than quats, or with the quats. It is not as good of a disinfectant as the other aerosols listed. Lysol aerosol use is also more commonly affiliated with growth mutations and rosecomb than the other listed. (not that you want to use aerosols around your projects much at all anyway..but it happens).

The pads I mentioned in my post contain both those as active ingredients as well as 70% iso so I believe I will use them for cleaning my workspace. thanks!

The only chemical I use and will continue to use is 70% isopropyl alcohol. And I have massive success, as you may have noticed.

If you feel the need to throw a million chemicals to try to prevent contams, it is actually indicating you need to work on your sterile procedures.

Lysol, oust, bleach, whatever other chems you can think of...all of this is totally pointless IMO.

Just like this thread that gets repeated every month or so :house:

I guess this answered my question pretty simply..."is using madacide for a disinfectant just overkill?"
