Disinfecting an incubator
    #5482650 - 04/05/06 12:16 PM (17 years, 9 months ago)

Im running an aquarium heater in a mini-fridge. Because of the water i want to clean it out every week or so. Besides replacing the water, can i just spray Lysol in there to kill any airborn contams, or should i take the jars out? Can the Lysol destroy the mushroom spores/hurt mycelium?

i'd put some h2o2 in that water if not already doing so. the lysol can harm the myc if it comes in contact w/ it.. but if your jars are sealed the lysol will do no harm. i spray my incubator down with no problem. gl

Instead of Lysol I like to use bleach mixed with water at a 1:10 ratio, for surface disinfectant. Be careful with the bleach tho.

you don't have to really worry about your jars until it's time to open them. what i do is wait until i am about to spawn the jars then i wipe each one down with alcohol. as long as you sterilize the outside of the jars before you open them, you will be fine.
