Breeding room cleaning

Hello guys, Ive been making seed outdoors for 2 years, now Im about to buy a grow tent to breed some strain indoor, but I was wondering how do you guys clean your room or grow tent after you've done your crossing?

Any way to ''kill'' that pollen so the next batch is not contaminated with the older pollen?

I use a light bleach solution in my tent between every grow.
2 tablespoons per gallon. I spray the interior down with a re-used spray bottle, making sure to get the nooks and crannies , let sit for a few minutes then wipe it down with a clean cloth. Then I run a fan in the tent to dry everything out.
If you dont use too much bleach the smell will be gone overnight.

A combination of the vacuum cleaner and a water mister during the grow after pollination, wiping everywhere with alcohol after the grow. Contamination would be limited anyway based on personal experience having no problem growing seedless crops during the next cycle after making seeds in the previous, even with barely any cleanup, and failed attempts at making seeds with pollen just stored in a tupperware container on the floor until the next cycle. Even limited contamination would be something serious breeders would want to avoid of course.
