Clean a styrofoam Incubator????

[NoSpringChick]

How do you clean your styrofoam incubators in between hatches?

Warm water, dawn dish liquid, weak bleach solution, soak for an hour, wipe and rise well and put in the sun to dry for a day..

The top I just wipe around with the solution and dry well inside...

If there's no sunlight, you can dry them with a blowdryer to make sure there's no dampness when you put them away.

I fill my tub up with bleach water and soak the thing for an hour then I will take an old rag or sock and scrub the dickens out of it. I spray the top with the same bleach water and wipe it down also being careful not to get the electric parts wet. It seemed to work for about 2 years then the eggs just wouldnt hatch any more. I think the bacteria gets deep in and wont come out by then. Now I am gonna buy a new one.

I wash with dish soap dry with towel spray with Lysol, run it til its dry (about a day) put it away.

Remember to seperate the plastic liner from the styrofoam part when drying in the sun. Every part needs to get absolutly dry.I have some pretty old hovabators and they still work great! I also use tuffoldhens method, except I use ajax dish liquid.
