Why is a disinfectant spray important?

Disinfecting your workspace is crucial for cultivating healthy mushrooms. It’s one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of contamination when working with mushroom grow kits. It’s specially important during setup and maintenance as this is when the substrate is most vulnerable.

Microscopic contaminants such as bacteria, mold, and unwanted fungi are always present in the air and on surfaces. Failing to follow sterilisation protocols can lead to irreparable damage, requiring you to discard a contaminated grow kit because once it’s gotten contaminated, it cannot be saved.

Using this disinfectant mist can help mitigate these risks, ensuring a germ-free environment for successful mushroom cultivation.

Supports mycelium growth

Mycelium thrives in clean and controlled conditions. By disinfecting tools, hands, and surfaces, you create an environment where the mycelium can grow without competition from unwanted organisms, leading to healthier and more reliable results.
Caution: never spray the disinfectant mist directly on to the substrate of a grow kit as this will kill your mycelium.

Easy to use

Thanks to the highly fine mist, it effectively distributes disinfectant solution exceedingly evenly; making sure to disinfect the entirety of any surface, reaching areas that are easily missed with wipes or cloths alone. This consistency helps maintain a reliable level of cleanliness throughout your workspace.

You can use it to spray from any angle even if you’re holding the spray bottle at its side or upside down – unlike conventional spray bottles.

How to use it

Spray directly onto the surface area or tools you want to disinfect. Make sure it is thoroughly covered and wipe it dry with a clean cloth. Spray your hands, rub them together and let them air dry.
