I just tub container soak with vinegar and water , flip inside out and bristle brush the bastards. Rinse soak them in water - air dry them .

THEN ...... blast them with lysol spray ( same as tent btw ) and go have a beer.

Its not trying to remove Skidmarks for god’s sake

Lysol raises hairs. But yes. Second run after my playschool electric pressure washer. Fully functional. LOL.

I've never used the washing machine. I was going to one time but the girl caught me and said no.

I love the pressure washer idea

I just up potted my clones from 1 gal fabric pots to previously used 5 gal fabric pots. I used my little gardening spade to scrape the inside, easily removed all roots, etc.

I didn't even rinse, just fresh soil, transplant, fresh soil to fill and watered...

Never even considered sterilizing.

Using pots from Vivosun.

TY. Wish we had been legal sooner. I refused to document my activities until recently. My 3 year old mother made this look like a baby. LOL.

I smack them around to get rid of as much debris as I can, hose them out, let them dry, and smack them around some more. They don't have to be thoroughly washed out. You're filling them with dirt anyway.

Not true there is old nutrients and salt build up, as well as possible disease. More than likely you will be fine doing it your way, but I would rather be safe and clean by soaking thoroughly with baking soda and white vineger. Or hydrogen peroxide is another option.

Hydrogen peroxide and OxyClean ain't sterilizing anything. Clean? Maybe. 1:100 Bleach:water. That does sterilize.

Incorrect.

Yep, already did all that. They were outdoors and some got a little mold on em. I'm going to be using them inside this winter and wanted to make sure they were 100% clean.

Either use hydrogen peroxide, or baking soda and white vineger.

Warmer. 90% ISO or a copper oxide. About the only proven over the counter as I have read.

H202kills fungus. Very few bacteria. Vinegar and baking soda are also oxidizing at a slightly higher degree.

Ay attempt is better than none. At least use boiling water. LOL. Peace.

Really ...
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) , hydrogen peroxide kills yeasts, fungi, bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. The CDC lists specific concentrations you need and how long you need to let them sit to kill different organisms.

Agreed. Yet name a healthcare facility using hydrogen peroxide or baking soda and vinegar. Beyond wound irrigation and clearing foul smelling drains. And what percentages did they list. Please compare to ISO as listed. LOL.

Regardless it completely contradicts your last statement. When using the ISO do you dilute it in water?

Your not good at being wrong are you?

Nope. Straight gallons of 90%.

You believe you're getting it done and sanitary. Cool by me. Glad you are not next door. All good. As I grin and cringe. LMAO!

I have yet be demonstrated as such. You are not very situational aware are you?

MICHI-CAN · Apr 2, 2021

Here you go. Real world and legit. Have you ever cleaned a professional surgical center? Dealt with immune impaired people?

TY for the grins.

What's not true?

I've reused fabric pots for years just shaking them out after a grow. If you want to make it more complicated than it needs to be then go ahead. It's just a fucking plant. Plant it and grow. It really is that simple.

:peace:

Ever heard of "dudding"?

HLV ain't no joke.

And I posted earlier in this thread that cleaning fabric pots didn't matter.

I was wrong.
