Disinfecting an Incubator

[chickedydoodaa]

If my wife isn't around to clean mine I let my dogs lick mine clean so I don't have to clean anything.

for large incubator I use hot steam 300 C (3 times the boiling Temperature) for half an hour, then spray the I with a 5% vircon c solution, I do not wash away the cleaning agent, the eggs will take no damage, wash with chlorine or peroxide is also a good solution, Incubators MUST always be washed before use,,,, bacteria and viruses grow quickly in damp and warm climate,,, bacteria walking easy through the eggshell, if scientists want to grow a virus or a bacterium, they use a incubator for this,,, Egg is a medium they infect, which nourishes the bacteria,, including Antrax are grown in an incubator,,,cleanliness is a very critical factor for a high hatch rate,, You can not see if a incubator is clean


Happy Hatch

Food safe hydrogen peroxide is a better option to bleach but that is just my opinion...

I used my vinegar cleaning solution and then let it air out for a couple days.

I know this was an old post but I was wondering if when you put the latex paint to seal it if the fumes are bad for the eggs when it gets heated up?
