Soap or 70% iso for SAB

Hello i have read that cleaning my SAB with soap water and letting Some water stay at the bottom, is the best way to prepare my SAB. Or is it Wrong? Maybe 70% iso is Better for it?

Clean it with whatever you want -- soap, iso, whatever. As long as it cleans it.
Then usually a small spraying of soapy water on the walls and floor in order to catch airborne contaminants -- they will stick to the soapy water more than a dry plastic surface. It sounds like you're going to leave a puddle of dirty water in the bottom of the tub... I wouldn't do that.

Most people who wet the bottom do so by using a towel. I use a bath towel, other types may work too
You'd place the SAB over the towel and spray it with soap water. This would usually involve not using the lid and putting something heavy on top of the SAB to ensure that it presses against the towel and creates a vacuum

I've been having good results using this tek from Bod. I clean the SAB and the table surface with ISO. Let it evaporate then use a soapy water mixture to prepare it. Spray the sides, top and floor of the SAB. I try to go lighter on the front so I can see what I'm doing a little better.

I have been cleaning with iso with final a mist (try a small travel hairspray mister) upwards through the arm holes with great success. I then leave it for several minutes before using (about 10min).
I do this for 2 reasons:
1. to "catch" any airborne particulates 2. to create a moist bottom layer for particulates to fall on (which can then be neutralized by he iso)
I will sometimes put an iso misted paper towel at the bottom but not always.

That's the point! Misting the air captures most of the nasties floating around and traps them. Sterile technique and sanitizing everything takes care of the rest. Using iso instead of soapy water which evaporates very quickly would be counterproductive. I do wipe the inside of my SAB with iso before using it though.
I just follow Bod's TEK, it always worked wonderfully once I got the technique down.

OP, just saying this since nobody else did, iso alcohol is flammable (errbody knows that tho). Some have accidentally made their SAB into arm incinerators by trapping all the alcohol fumes add flame and... BOOM!
Just wanted to share that word of caution with a newbie, don't be the next fool.
EDIT: I should have said that you can absolutely use it, and you should. Just use common sense and let the alcohol evaporate before enclosing it with your work inside and potentially your arms.

I used to use ISO, but I noticed donor plates tend to freak out after being exposed to iso-heavy air. The edges almost always start growing up into the air and turn blue after being in iso air.

That is a very important point and one I should have been clearer about in my response. I try to even be mindful of how much I'm spraying around when wiping down my arms and gloves. Safety is paramount with fire and explosive fumes. Thanks for pointing that out El Chupacabra!

Yes - should have put a caution clause with iso use for noobs. Iso = flammable. Let it air out before using (usually 10min is enough but be careful)

Flour is flammable too. They fight off cobweb with ISO so why not use the good stuff?

Flour isn't flammable but it does burn if it's airborne, basically everything can burn if it's capable of going airborne. It's a lot of fun to throw a handful through a bonfire

Actually it's highly flammable when dispersed in air haven't you seen the news articles of flour factories going kaboom?

Right I knew what you meant when you said it. No argument here. But like I said you are referring to airborn flour. Im sure mushrooms ground to powder is flammable in that sense too.
I like your screenname btw

Thanks man! I've really been into the whole brevity thing and the occasional acid flashback.
Before someone closes this thread you use soapy water to clean your equipment after use ; You use isopropy on surfaces before using the SAB.

In my opinion, soap is still better. Previously, I did not give preference to soap and in general to everything I used for the body, but after the rash caused by poor-quality soap, I began to think about buying a good soap. As a result, I began to look at various sites and forums with descriptions of good products. Alaffia was my choice. I decided to try using their products and the result was really amazing, but I advise people who have not yet used their products to ask a dermatologist before using different creams, oils and shampoos. For your own health. https://www.nhc.com/brand/alaffia
