How to clean inline fans and carbon filter after budrot

Hey guys,

Do i need to replace my exhaust/intake fans or will wiping them down be good enough? I currently use one 6" vortex s-line for intake and use an 8" vortex s line for exhaust. Should I be worried about spores being inside the fans where i can't wipe down? Also do i need to do anything special to clean my carbon filter? Will spores be inside it? Should I just replace or should I be okay? The equipment has been in storage for a year because i moved. It was wiped down with hydrogen peroxide solution before going into storage but I don't want to start up a new grow if any of the equipment could be contaminated.
Thanks dudes!

Intake fans weren't exposed to anything, and exhaust fans are blowing away from your grow. I don't see how some spores effects activated carbon, but I could be wrong

Personally I belief that the spores that causes budrot are always around us is the air, both outside and inside.

I think the best thing to do is to change your environment so that those spores can't take root on your plants. Imo, budrot is caused by improper environmental conditions.
