Cleaning Incubator

Date sort Score sort
Just got skunked on a clutch of 16 Hamburg eggs, two different varieties so fertility shouldn't be a concern. Began to wonder if perhaps the incubator wasn't cleaned properly last spring? Hoping the advice in this thread will solve any bacteria issues in the future.

I know that this is an older thread but I thought that I would put my 2-cents worth in. The oxide was a good direction, but it was over-thinking and passed by a simple solution. I use Dawn dish soap, which I know is animal friendly..rinse very well...let it dry.....then use a spray of hydogen peroxide which you can pick up at any grocery or drug store. It is usually is sold as a 3% solution which works great as a sanitizer, and it breaks down to water and oxygen within a few minutes.

That's what I use. Dawn with hot water. It's friction that removes bacteria, and soapy water that carries it away.
