using bleach to clean
    #7730042 - 12/07/07 06:22 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

ive read a couple posts about this but didnt find the exact answer to my question so i thought i would throw this question out there to be sure.
i sprayed down a tub im gonna use to grow in with a bleach water mixture about 10:1 water:bleach. i wiped it down but didnt rinse it out or anything, just let it dry. will there be any residue that will harm my growth?
thanks.

Bleach won't leave a residue once it has dried up.

You can dunk your cakes in a 10% bleach solution and they would be fine

Bleach is less harmful to mycelium than h202.

I know RR uses it to clean up tissies samples for cloning to agar.

Cleaning your FC out with bleach is fine, i know of people who clean perlite with bleach (which i have done without any problems, just make sure you rinse it plenty, it will smell of bleach for a day but it goes away)

Im not saying that bleach wont give the myc some kind of shock, it shouldnt be that much of a deal.

Usually its a good idea to rinse well.

Usuually its only nessary to wash out with soapy water. this should wash away most spores.

I have washed my fruiting chamber out a few times just to be safe and have had no problems

household bleach is usually ~5% solution of sodium hypochlorite, so if you let it evaporate, you will have that salt left behind as a solid. it will easily wash away, but it will definitely be there.

but in a 1:10 dilution that's about 0.5% so it's negligible, i wouldn't worry about it
