Please elaborate on your course of action.
What do you want to achieve and what are your steps, exactly?
And remember that alcohol does not sterilize but only sanitizes.
We use 70% IPA. Works better than 99%.

Have you tried using a 15$ plastic tote as a SAB?

Sterile pretty much just means it's completely free of any living (micro)organisms.
Your air scrubber doesn't make the air sterile, it just reduces airborne contaminants by quite a bit. Even if you reduce the nasties in the air by 90% all your work could still be covered with bacteria and mold.
Do you maybe have any pics or model number(s) of your flow hood? Not to be rude but I have a feeling your flow hood isn't really a true flow hood. We've seen a lot of people who "made a flow hood" by attaching a filter and computer fan to a box and calling it done.
EDIT: This was my 666th post

If your 'hood' is working correctly, you can use it in an extremely dirty room without contaminating your cultures.
Pictures would tell us sooo much more than a few words can. Depending on where and when the contams are showing up will determine how they are being introduced.

Also, no need for a positive pressure bubble which is likely just being filled with dirty air.
Iβm just catching these vibes for both the hood and scrubber.
