A Couple Questions About Cleaning Grow Room Before Use

[x Darth Vapor x]

Can anybody tell me the best way to clean my grow room before my first grow? What should I use? I want to wipe everything down and get it real clean before I Visqueen it and put my seedling under light.
Specifically, what should I use to run through my hydro system to clean them? I am using a top feed dripper for veg and DWC for flower.
Thanks for the time!

Vaporized H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) works great and is much easier then wiping things down. Basically just use a steam vaporizer used for cold medications and place hydrogen peroxide in the vaporizer, seal the room with visqueen and tape and plug in the cord to the vaporizer. It will disinfect every nook and cranny. Run dilute chlorox water through the irrigation (drip) set up and leave the DWC lid off the reservoir and the H202 vapor will take care of the reservoir and lid. Tape off electrical outlets before turning on the vaporizer.

Good info fatman7574, sounds effective and easy. What strength H2O2 do you use?

I use 35% but that is just beacuse I have it on hand. Any strength will work because H2O2 is a very strong oxidizer. Stronger than chlorine.

Oxidation potential (V) Flourine3.0, Hydroxyl radical2.8, Ozone2.1, Hydrogen peroxide1.8, Potassium permanganate1.7, Chlorine dioxide1.5, Chlorine1.4
