Just wondering how people go about cleaning their incubators? Like what products do you use? Do you steer clear of chemicals? Or is there a certain chemical specially designed or safe to use? I have a product called Glutacide at home that is specifically for cleaning and disinfecting poultry houses, stables, kennels etc but wondered if it would be too strong to use in a bator.
Some of the details are:
ACTIVE CONSTITUENTS: Each 1 litre contains:
GLUTARALDEHYDE 151g
QUATERNARY AMMONIUM COMPOUND 10g
PROPERTIES:
Both active ingredients of GLUTACIDE have strong biocidal activity against micro organisms. Glutaraldehyde is chemically related to formaldehyde with similar efficiency but without the handling disadvantages of formalin. Quaternary ammonium compounds have well-established disinfectant qualities plus good detergent or penetration characteristics.
The combination of the two active's in GLUTACIDE, creates a product with a broad kill spectrum and with residual action against bacteria (including spores), fungi, viruses, protozoa and yeasts. GLUTACIDE is thus effective against a wide range of contaminant organisms, the destruction of which reduces the hazard of disease and creates a clean odour free environment.
GLUTACIDE has a rapid action, and remains active for several days on treated surfaces. All animal and bird housing systems may be effectively cleaned and disinfected using GLUTACIDE. The product is not for use directly on animals or birds however, but is suitable for all animal contact areas.
I have finished putting the final bits of my bator together and am pretty pleased with the end result, but now need to remove the last bits of styrofoam and chick fluff stuck to the floor.
