Any Hacks for the Brinsea Ecoglow Clear Covers?

[Araucana Nest]

I take care of the clear covers for my Eco Glow Brooder heaters but cleaning daily wears them out and they eventually have to be tossed. Just looked at the price of the replacement packs and imo, it's not worth it. About $5 each for the 600 and $6 each for the 1200. Not including shipping. Any alternatives? ideas?

Just wash the plastic in dishwater soap, and do not scrub. I don't see how a slightly clouded plastic makes it no longer usable.
I suppose if the clarity is important, then the $5 + shipping is not really that bad

They tear after a while. I didn't say anything about the plastic being cloudy????

Could you show us a picture of the item youre talking about?

I assumed you were talking about the clear plastic cover also.

I am speaking of the clear plastic cover. They tear. I've been using my brooders daily since March and I clean those covers daily. They are torn in the corners. Click on the link so you can see the item I am talking about.

I use Saran Wrap Press and Seal on mine. Makes cleaning a breeze!

...and i would let Brinsea know these covers are not durable. Thats too much money to have to keep replacing for normal wear and cleaning.

I thought of another hack for the covers. I can draw the pattern on kraft paper. Biodegradable and cheaper in the long run. Will be as easy as the plastic wrap to remove and replace, I think.
