Clean bucket Every time Before use
    #26950793 - 09/23/20 09:46 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Do you guys use isopropyl or clean it with soap before use? When using the bucket tek or is it not necessary?

I clean my bucket with soapy water and my receiving tubs with a few sprays of iso before spwaning.

I feel like such a dirtball.  I don't ever "clean" it, but I'll rinse it if it's not going to get used for a while.  I figure the boiling water sterilizes the coir, why wouldn't it take care of other stuff in there too?

Bucket tek uses coir, so no need to stress about sterility or even true pasteurization.

I feel that it is over kill but I will wash and wipe down the bucket and tubs right before use just so I feel better.

Ashamed to admit I rarely or never clean my buckets and coolers. Just leave the lid off/open after spawning tubs and let it all dry out. Then it just becomes part of the next batch.

Okay so there's not an increased risk if I don't clean it at all after I just used it? It might be the hot water that keeps it clean enough after I pour it in?

I isopropyl my bucket and my tub before I spawned my tub today ( first tub btw) 😂 I just don't wanna overcomplicate things, but at the same time I prefer better safe than sorry

I clean everything with soap and water between uses. Maybe not NEEDED but I would rather spend a few minutes cleaning before and after prep than weeks waiting for contaminants to show themselves.

I also wash between my toes in the shower while most of you nasty mofo's probably don't go that far :smile:

It's sitting in open air 24/7. It's never gonna be clean lol. Leave a petri dish open for a couple hours in your living space and see how dirty the air is around you.

I just spray mine out with a water hose every now and then. Maybe every few months I'll scrub it with soap and water just to clean the surface.

I rinse and dry and that's it. Make a quart of bucket tek coir and leave it in the bucket. It will take months at least to grow any crud...if it does at all. Save your iso for the important things. Unless you're doing big production, one quart should be enough to prepare 60+ shoe boxes from spores to agar to spawning.

It's not killing mold spores anyway.

I rinsed out my cooler once, right before I commandeered it for my coir prep.

Literally never have again.

Boiling water in it periodically during prep, and all the leftover coir gets re-used next batch, same as Pasty.

You don't pour some hot water over the lid, to kinda decontaminate it?  :smile:

I assume the steam from the boiling water is hot enough to take care of it.

I do however try to pour and shut my lid quickly, so that I can keep all the steam in.
