Trich in Tub, tossed after 3 days but...

I had a Trich contam after my first flush in a monotub. I wasn't sure it was trich until I saw it spreading and noticed the green hue forming a few days after. I've read through quite a few threads but have not been about to know for certain the following:
Can I clean out the tub with bleach and still use it for future grows with confidence that the trich spores won't destroy future grows?
If so, what measures do I need to take to do so? I've read in many threads and hear RR talk about tossing it immediately, which I did not do until 3 days later.
Please tell me I didn't just ruin my space permanently.
Also, is the fact that my substrate's moisture content was too high the likely culprit for the contamination after the first flush? Here are a few more details about my tub: 60/40 coir/verm tek, 3,5 in subs depth. Noticed i was getting a great pinset but the substrate wasn't completley white after 30 days when it went into fruiting. I put into fruiting due to the large number of primordia developing.
Looking forward to your thoughts.

Ive reused tubs that have housed contaminated subs before with no issue. Also ive left contaminated tubs in my space for more than just a day because i either forgot or had things to do without it spreading and affecting other grows. Its not recommended but IME hasnt caused any issues.
You were asking about the moisture content and yes, ezcessive water can help contaminates.
From what i know, often if a substrate or jar pins before fulk colonization its because a contam already exists and the mushrooms are tryingnto finish their reproductive cycle before the contam takes over.
Hope this helps! Im relatively new to this as well but i find learning makes up half the fun! Good luck bruhh

thanks for the input. I definitely opened and fanned the tub a few times 2 or 3 days before finally tossing it which is why I'm concerned.
