I have inherited extra equipment from 3 other grows including a small tent. Do I need to worry about introducing disease and pollen to my grows? Curious to how I might go about cleaning the tent and supplies. I have some 50% alcohol in a spray bottle, could I just spray everything down with that and let it dry? Do I need something stronger?
Any tips or ideas would be appreciated.
I would wash the entire tent with bleach and then clean it with alcohol to avoid any type of contamination, whether by bacteria, fungi, or anything else.
The alcohol should be fine for your tent.
Clean the dust from fans as best you can.
I would spray the alcohol onto paper towel and wipe down things like lights. Just don’t turn them on for awhile.
I use 99.9% IPA in a pressure sprayer. The pressure you can spray with it will get that alcohol into places you can’t otherwise see or touch. And the fact that it’s pure alcohol means that it’ll kill everything you spray it on, and it’ll evaporate rather quickly. You don’t even have to worry too much about electrical components, just be sure to unplug them and keep them unplugged until dry.
