monotub vent material and contamination....

I am making some progress in reducing contamination rates with my cubes in monotubs. (franks)
I run the tubs until they contam, usually after the second/third flush.
I would like to use some felt on my tub holes, but I am concerned about what to do when I spot some contams. I immediately toss it, but isn't some felt or polyfil a thing that can hold mold spores?
How do others deal with this topic? New material each time? Spray it down?
Many thanks!

Polyfill is going to work better for adjusting your airflow. You definitely want to change it each time if you're getting mold.

Supposedly, no matter how spore infested a piece of polyfill is, those spores cannot germinate on your coir/properly pasteurized substrate.
With that said, I buy a big bag of poly stuffing for 5euro AFAIK and it lasts a looooong time so I use new poly every time. If re-usability is what you are after, you can submerge the polyfill in a strong bleach solution, maybe 15-20%? 10 probably works as well. That should clean it well enough. Folks who get mold on their SFDs use this to clean them up.

if you've had a major contam in a tub you can pc your polyfil to kill all spores. I Just bunch it up in some tyvek sleeves then pc for 30 minutes.
This is overkill
