How to decontaminate my house?

Hi All,
I've been following Frank's 12 steps for a bulk grow: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19792837
The first crop used a fresh syringe and everything seemed to go peachy. I got three flushes before contamination took over. Since the first crop, I've been using grain-to-grain transfers to keep everything going.
The sad thing is that all my crops after the first one have failed with massive contamination while spawning in the monotubs. The tubs never fully colonize before contams hit. Here's an example:

After three failed crops over five months, I tried switching to PFtek since I don't really need a large volume of product. I tried grain-to-grain transfer in front of a blowing HEPA filter/fan in the bathroom. I had the HEPA filter running in the bathroom for days beforehand. Most of my jars quickly turned green. I'm getting some fresh syringes to start over with a simple PFtek.
I suspect my house is fully trich contaminated at this point. I've ordered some strong ozone generators and purchased Biocide carpet bomb and stand-alone mold bombs.
Any suggestions for how I can decontaminate my house so I can start again? Open all the windows for a few days? Ozone the house for 8 hours and run a steam-cleaner with Biocide on all carpets? What else?
Wishing you all well in the new year. Thanks for your time.
Cheers!

If your tubs are contaminating before being fully colonized 99% of the time it is your spawn. Your master jar that you have been using to gtg was more than likely dirty or you are not being totally sterile while doing the transfers.
If you really feel like you need to run an ozone generator just remember that while it is running you CAN NOT be in the house. Place it near an entrance so when the alloted time is up you can open the door and quickly turn it off and leave that door open. After 20-30 min go inside and open all the windows and leave for another half hour or so. I recently had to do the same thing as i used to smoke in the house and had recently quit. Amazing how much cigs reak up a place and you never notice it.

Thanks for the feedback. I've been doing a bunch of research on ozone generators and will definitely purchase one with a timer on it so I can run it for 3-4 hours while being gone for 8 hours to let the oxygen molecules rejoin.
If this fails, I'll try out agar dishes. If nothing else, it's more experience with different methods.
Cheers!

You don't need to clean your house you just need clean spawn
