Best way to kill pollen

[Surfer Joe]

I just finished a disappointing grow which got seeded by some hermie in the tent.
All the plants had seeds.
Now I am about to start a new grow and would like to make sure there is no stray pollen in the tent to contaminate the new grow..
Can I wipe the walls and surfaces down with anything that will destroy any remaining pollen?
Is this even an issue to worry about?
Thanks for any advice.

yes stray pollen sucks
water kills pollen

Yes water kills pollen. You could add bleach to kill a lot of pathogens and mold spores etc since you will be working at spraying down the walls anyway.

If you are pollinating one area but trying not to pollinate a different tent, you can raise the humidity in the tent you aren't tying to pollinate briefly. It ups your chances in avoiding cross contamination, but its not a 100% effective method. As was mentioned, water will neutralize pollen.
