Cleaning & Sanitizing

[Birdman18]

Hi,

Just wanted to know if this method of cleaning & sanitizing incubator was good. I wiped the incubator with clorox wipes which are suppose to kill bacteria and germs then i rinsed it a few times with warm water then i added some hot boiled water twice to really get it sanitized. Does this sound like i got the incubator cleaned and sanitized? I think I'm ready now to start incubating.

I clean mine with a bleach and water mix and put out in the sun to dry

Keeping the surface wet with 5% bleach for five minutes will kill just about everything.

I use Lysol I.C. (Quaternary disinfectant) on they really icky stuck on messes, or on surfaces I don't wan't to bleach.

As a shortcut, I have used the Lysol Germicidal wipes to wipe down the shelves and innerwalls of the Brinsea between settings. I haven't had any issues yet, but I don't think they do a great job.
