How to clean incubator the correct way??

[Lucy Brown]

I was just wondering how you guys would clean your incubators. I just turned mine off because all of them hatched.

with bleach! I remove all parts from mine, spray with bleach, give it a nice scrub and rinse.
Bleach will dissolve if you let it air out so it won't make fumes when you use the incubator next time.

Then I also use some limescale remover to clean off the limescale residue.
This is what was written in my incubator manual so I trust it

I just use a little dishsoap and warm water. No need to deep sterilize in my opinion, unless you have reason to believe there is a dangerous pathogen present.

Oh i see, what about the top part of the incubator where there is wires?

I do vacuum or blow out the top heater/blower unit to get all of the hatch dust and fibers out.
