Best way to spray down the air in a room? Could rubbing alcohol work?
    #23586901 - 08/28/16 01:07 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

I have one room dedicated to growing. I have a Still Air Box. But I want to spray down the entire room and I'm not sure the best way to go about that. The last time I did that, I sprayed the entire room with Lysol bleach spray, but it was a bitch because everything, like the linoleum floor, and other objects in the room became wet (and it smelled horrible even with my face mask).

What if I spray with 91% rubbing alcohol?  Then it would evaporate on its own, yes? Will it be effective, though? I just wanna bring all the nasties "down" with the spray temporarily while I work with the SAB. What do you guys think?

Hmm, what if you you placed a fan in there to purge the room of air and sprayed through the fan?  Could dry it out faster I guess and continually push the crap in the air out. 

I don't see anything wrong with using alcohol either.

No..just let the air settle on its own. Absolutely do not use a fan.

Too bad you can't hear the flood of corrections that would arise from this suggestion..

You don't see ANYTHING wrong with trying to spray down the air in a room with isopropyl?  Really?

i have my SAB in my cold, and dank basement. with a catbox.
and four cats. if you use your SAB correctly I do not
see the need to spray down an entire room.

back in noob days i inoculated in a bathroom. fan going, naked soaked
in bleach. total waste of time and effort although my bathroom was
never cleaner.

I use a 'ULV fogger' with mold killer to keep the mold spores down in my fruiting room once every couple months.

Unless you have seen a fair amount of green mold in your room it's probably fine just the way it is though.

Maybe try a different brand of air sanitizer if you didn't like the Lysol? I don't think spraying alcohol will work very well.

I just use the principle of still air. 

Plus gloves and all that, of course.

Historically, this room has seen some shit. It's taken a while to clean it up and I still think it's not clean. I would like to reduce my contamination rate.

Why wouldn't alcohol work well? It has to be bleach? I'm very well aware that alcohol is flammable btw and know not to flame inside the SAB most especially.

Also, I found this photo and write up interesting here.

I found the bit about the towel interesting and am going to try it next time: "Before working in the SAB - I turn off all fans, the heat/AC, anything that moves the air around. I then fumigate the room I am working in with a good spray of Lysol, and then spray down the SAB with Lysol. While that's sitting I'll pour a cap of bleach into a jar of water and pour this on the towel you see pictured. This was a tip from another member which increased my success with having cultures free from contaminants, dramatically."

Maybe look into trying something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Healthful-Home-FOG-U®-Indoor-Fogger/dp/B01DWVS4EC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1472432491&sr=8-2&keywords=mold+fogger

It is essentially the same thing as what I use in a single serving rather than having the refillable machine.


I don't think spraying alcohol into the air would work very well because I have heard it needs the friction from rubbing to sanitize well. It definitely wouldn't hurt to scrub down all the surfaces in your room with alcohol but the fogger should kill everything it comes in contact with :smile:
