~Clean with 70% isopropyl alcohol...let dry. Clean growing area and keep humidifiers off ground level. ~Pixie~

~The reason you had trouble finding information while searching is because it is most often referred to as a "fruiting chamber", as opposed to a grow box. ~Pixie~

Do not mix bleach and vinegar together neat! This will create Chlorine Gas which is very dangerous! Only add these to water.
They do a fantastic job of killing most things if mixed seperately into water. See the Notes on Sanitisation on http://www.irishcraftbrewer.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=56&Itemid=37
Personaly I find good old soap and water does the job. Fruiting chambers don't need to be sterile, just clean.

I use Awesome for almost all of my cleaning purpose. Also Isopropyl Alcohol (rubbing Alcohol)
But, awesome is Awesome. They say dilute it with water, but I never do. The dollar store has it.

You can mix bleach and vinegar if you dilute the bleach with water first, as you should anyway. In fact, adding vinegar to bleach/water makes it much more effective. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-02/asfm-vik021306.php
Soap and water are all you need for a fruiting chamber. RR
