How do you clean an incubator??

[BunnyBuns]

Hi my first time hatching was pretty... No very bad and I'm ready to try again!! But I don't really know how to go about cleaning the incubator...?? I have a little giant incubator, and it is styrofoam. Sorry for the dumb question!!

Great question! I neglected mine outside after my last hatch and it is really dirty. I was going to soak it in the tub with dilute bleach...hopefully someone on here will be able to tell us the right way to go about this.

Thank you!!

Hope fully I get a good hatch this time!

make sure you rinse off the soap though you don't have to rinse the bottom just the mesh

good luck with your hatch

I know this thread was from May but Thank You! I had to scrub and bleach the cooler I'm using before I built it into an incubator due to the fact that the cooler had been left out in the weather for Lord knows how long. It didn't get too dirty after the hatching I did but I did want to know a safe easy way to clean it. The wipes will be perfect.
