Most Effective Way To Clean Trays After Contams?
    #7974189 - 02/03/08 05:13 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Hey there guys, searches resulted in nothing so hopefully someone can chime in here. I have 12 16qt sweater boxes that during last grow became quite contaminated. They have been cleaned and washed + dried, but now they need to be disinfected prior to usage today.

What method should I go for. Here is what I was planning

I have heard of bleach baths, but if it was in wide usage I would expect to see more about it here.

So I'm going to do a large 10% bleach bath, soak them for 30 minutes. Have a rinse bucket out to the side and then as I want to use them I will dip them in the rinse bucket, then dry them with paper towels.

Is there anything else that should be done?

the most effective way is the trash can. They do not cost that much. But soap and water and a lysol or alcohol mist/wipte down afterwards works good also


--------------------
Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

True, they dont cost that much, but I dont feel like shelling out 50 bucks for more sweater boxes plus the damn store almost never has them. Plus i have a plethora of cleaning solutions around. Bleach, Lysol Conc, Iso Alcohol. Gluteraldehyde... I collect them...

use a 25 percent bleach and 25 percent distilled vinegar solution and pray/ soak for an hour. Works wonders on bacteria and spores.

trash is best i agree, but i've got a couple tubs that have had contams. and a simple 10-20% bleaching works just fine. scrub-a-dub my brother.

I have read RR answering this question many times. His replies are always.

Wash out with soapy water (something to that effect anyway)

Bleach wont kill the mould.

I wash mine with soap and water, then give it a good mist of acified bleach.
80%water, 10%white vinager, 10%bleach. then rinse.

But thats just to ease my mind. RR is right though. you just need
to make it a surface that mold and bacteria don't like. I just like
being abit overkill.
