I've seen some pretty disgusting grow rooms in my time, and I don't really think it's because the grower is necessarily careless, but because there are all sorts of variables that can contribute to a dirty room. Spillage or runoff, for instance, when not noticed right away has the tendency to dry and leave a residual, flaky substance behind. Also, while not clearly visible to the naked eye, plants expire moisture through their leaves, which can lead to humidity & mold...along with saturated pots, buckets of standing water, etc.

I wasn't trying to make excuses for someone to let a growroom become nasty, I simply meant that there are sometimes unforeseen circumstances that can lead to a mess. And sometimes they're hard to notice until after you've cleaned up the pots, reservoirs, etc., and moved them out of the room.

No matter how immaculate I try to keep my area, I still always end up making at least a little bit of a mess that usually isn't noticed until after the harvest. It's still not a bad idea to clean and disinfect the grow area after each use...if for nothing else, than to keep things even more sanitary and pleasing to the eye.

You brought up a good point, nevertheless.
