Crazy and a little embarrassing question about incubating.

Okay so my incubator is stinky. I clean it with antibacterial soap after each hatch but, it just keeps getting stinkier. I bought a new expensive one but, it just doesn't work like old faithful. So I want to keep using my old Hovabator what can I do to keep it from getting stinky. Thanks so much for the help in advance, I really appreciate it.

Clean it with a bleach and water solution to kill all the bacteria, anti bacterial cleaner is not going to kill all the bacteria which is leading to the smell. 1 part bleach to 4 parts water and let air dry, if it still smells make a stronger bleach solution and clean it again.

Thanks. Can using bleach in there hurt the babies?

Using a mild bleach solution and letting it air dry the fumes will be gone and no it will not hurt the chicks.
