Lysol

I have been spraying a decent amount of lysol in my incubator with the jars in there. I also just read a post explaining that that isn't a good idea because it creates a film that is a harbor for bacteria. I found this scary! is there anything I could/should do to clean them? Alcohol

Just stop spraying shit in there.
Its an incubator, if you made your jars the right way then you have nothing to be paranoid about.

if there is a dry layer of vermiculite on top, you have done all that you need to do.
If there is no vermiculite serving as a contam barrier, you should use micropore, tyvek, poly-fil, or a filter disc.
Again, if you have a layer of dry vermiculite, you have done ALL that you need to do.

I have stopped spraying and I do have a verm layer. I just wanted to see if there was anything I should do to counter-act the spraying I have already done.

Spraying Lysol in the air does next to nothing anyways, it's a surface disinfectant. Your incubator is always going to be dirty, but that doesn't matter because if your jars are set up correctly, then you will be fine.

Actually, Oust and lysol are two totally different things. Lysol is a surface disinfectant that only works on smooth surfaces. Rubbing alcohol is better imo, so I don't use lysol for anything. Oust is an air disinfectant. It has aerosol additives designed to keep the mist in suspension in the air for as long as possible to kill airborne bacteria and mold spores. Oust rocks. Lysol makes a similar product to oust and puts it in the same skinny cans like oust, but it doesn't stay in the air nearly as long. If I fog my grow room with oust, ten minutes later there is still a fog. Do the same thing with the lysol copycat, and two minutes later the fog is gone. RR

Does oust work as well when sprayed on surfaces? Or does it just vaporize and go back into the air?

I'm sure it kills some bacteria but its made to be sprayed in the air so it can just float there and disinfect shit.

Oust can't be sprayed on surfaces. The mist shoots straight up, and if you roll the can over, it pukes out liquid. It's an air cleaning agent. Use alcohol on your tables and oust in the air. I spray the room the greenhouse is in, but not inside the greenhouse itself, except between crop cycles.
Lost lake? That bear destroyed my stove and fuel cans, so I need to make an REI trip before camping. And, my foot still healing...lol. RR

Too bad you didn't make it to REI last week RR. They have a killer sale going on just about everything. I saved like $100 on my backpack and a bunch of other shit for a Nepal trip.

Actually, I did make it for the sale. I bought a pair of boots that tore up my foot, which then got infected, and now I've been crippled for two weeks...grrrrr. I did get a few new cans of bear spray though...lol RR
