That's what I was gonna try next but wasn't sure if that was ok in a styrofoam bator. Right this minute its sitting outside with soapy baking soda water in it! Thanks for the reply

I cleaned mine with a bleach/water solution; the I put it out in the sun to bake for a day. I figured that would take care of the nasties in the crevices.....

I also clean and soak my styrofoam bator bottom, wire and plastic tray with a weak solution of bleach, dawn dish liquid and hot not hot hot water, soak in the tub for an hour, rinse well and set in the sun to dry. The top of the bator I just wipe down with a damp cloth that's been wrung in the same solution and then wipe with clean rinse water damp cloth. I also use on the top of the bator computer air dust spray, a few pulses of that gets the dust out from the fan and heating units.

Thank you all for the great advice! (which I am going to use BTW). I have more eggs to hatch and hopefully will get it right this time!

I scrubbed mine out real good, then set it out on a couple of sunny days. Worked like a charm.
