How do you clean your incubator?

[CoopsNPoops]

Is there a propper way i should wash and sanitize it to put it away? Are there certain detergents or cleaners i shouldn't use on it? Bleach? Maybe not since its a foam LG incubator, huh. Will bleach eat the foam?

All the Styrofoam incubators are very difficult to disinfect. When I used those, I would use Lysol and/or bleach solution, gently scrub any stained areas but after thoroughly rinsing, I would dry in the sunlight, interior side up. Be careful to avoid getting electronics wet.
I now use cabinet incubators and use activated oxine to disinfect. Oxine mixed in the correct ratio to water and citric acid (the activator) will kill all bacteria, viruses and fungi.

Thanks! Will the bleach not eat the styrofoam? I just gonna use antibacterial hand soap to wash it, but figured id prolly need bleach or something.

I don't use bleach full strength. A 10-20% solution should be sufficient.
