Hey,

I am going to be hatching out some eggs in a week or two, and really need to clean out my incubator. From what I have read, apparantly I should use a detergent solution followed by an antiseptic, then let the incubator air-dry. What should I use for a detergent? I assume they don't mean like laundry detergent, or dish soap. And I have alot of Hydrogen Peroxide- I was wondering if I could safely use that as an antiseptic?

Stupid question, I know, but Thanks.
 
I take mine apart, spray it down with Clorox Clean up. Walk away and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Wipe it down. Repeat if needed. Rinse with water from my kitchen sink sprayer. Then I put a little rubbing alcahol in it and wipe it down with that. The Alcahol dries it very quickly.

I use a brush to clean off the hardware cloth. I bleach out the sponges and run the sponges and hardware cloth through the dishwasher.
