How do you do it?

[rancher hicks]

I try to start w/ an question so I can get your attention. Anyhow what do you use and how do you clean your incubator and turner? Be specific and as always Pics are helpful to old people like me.

No ones got an answer? Or do you not clean your incubator between hatches?

Sorry, I can't help you. We/I have never used an incubator. I am waiting for my girls (at least one!) to get broody, that is how I plan to get new babies.
I just wanted you to know I was looking, and maybe somebody out there, and there are lots of them, that do incubate, will be able to help. Good Luck !

If it's a styrafoam one:

Summer:
Garden hose the sucker down...use Dawn dishwashing soap. Afterwards use the Lysol wipes and let it air dry outside.
Use the Lysol wipes on the turner cleaning each thing individually.

Winter:
Clean it in the bathtub using warm water (hands hurt with cold...) and use the Dawn soap...Lysol wipes again.

What kind of incubator? That would make a big differance. Mine is wood with polyurethane finish so I spray a bleach water solution and wipe it down.

I have a genesis and use only dawn dishsoap I don't want any bleach near something as sensitive as the eggs. I use windex on the outside window of the incubator.

I have a new Hovabator Genesis 1588 w/ the turner. Which by the way has a broken row. Can I use super glue to fix it or am I stuck w/ a broken turner? It came that way and I didn't have time to return it. If I use lysol wipes i can rinse it afterward? What about near the fan and other equipement?
I notice the turner motor is screwed on can I take that off? Nah I think it looks to complicated.

The turner that fits our new LG says its trays are dishwasher safe. You bet I am going to try it
I never use the heat dry cycle though.

I have the Brinsea and I use a water/bleach solution. Spray it on and wipe it off, let dry then wipe down with just water.

Gently wash out the heavy buildup of "gunk", and go to Wal-Mart and get a bottle of this ..... http://www.epinions.com/content_197804789380 .... soak it down and let it set. What's left to be removed should take a hike. This stuff's THE BOMB
