Dip the plants?

Recently built a new grow room and in the process contaminated 4 mother plants and 12 clones. The mother plants I threw away because they showed sure signs of the beginning stages of spider mites and PM. The clones are a strain that I like so I want to keep them. I have spent 3 weeks sanatizing the new grow room which is now bug and mildew free.
I am just wondering what solutions I should use to completely rid the clones of any powdery mildew or possible mites. Only one clone showed a small PM spot and none show mites or eggs under 60x magnification. I plan on completely submerging the small 1ft clones in whatever solutions to completely cover all areas of the plant. Soil top would need treated as well.

I just don't want to have to clean my new room and equipment again.
Any suggestions?

(I treated the one clone with a peroxide solution for the PM and it has not shown signs of a return. No mites have been seen on the clones but they were in the room with mothers, all plants were and still are isolated in another room)

seems like your doing everything right, if all the mites and mildew isnt gonne after fully submerging a plant i donno what will fix it.

after dipping repeat with a fine mist sprayer or bomb in a few days. Maybe do this a couple of times.
Keep in mind life cycle of spores and eggs.

I would alternate with the various treatments available for mites and PM (neem, pottasium bicarbonate, organic oils, soaps\sulfers etc).

I ended throwing everything away and getting some new seeds that are bug and mildew free! Always.

Finding bugs or mildew in my garden is unacceptable. Makes me feel like a novice.

On a good note my 1000w grow I just completed, 2 plants, yielded me a nice 10 ounces of some beautiful uniform buds.
And the new room is ready for action. Can't wait to see what I can do with a 12x7 room(twice as big as my previous flowering room).
Im thinking 2lbs. 2 1000w, 2 8" fans. Dehumidifier. Basement. :)
