I take mine outside
take it apart,
Wipe it down with anti bacterial soap, (everything but the lid)
spray it out with the hose
(on a gentle spray, being it's styrofoam)
Then wipe down the lid.
I don't spray the lid. Just wipe it down with a damp rag.

I basically do the same. I first dump out the dander/dust or what ever is in the bottom and then I put the bottom and screen in the tub and fill the tub with very warm water and add about a cup of bleach. I set the bleach bottle on the foam bottom to hold it under. I let it set for about 20 minutes and then I clean the bottom and screen with a rag. Rinse them off and let them air dry. And air out before adding anymore eggs. I use a damp rag to wipe off the lid. I wash the plastic windows. Usually spray some bleach water on them then wash and rinse. I let it all air dry. I don't take mine outside. With my luck birds will fly over and poop on them.

or the cat will use it as a scratching pole.
Ha Ha I let it dry in the bathtub not outside dogs would chew it or horses stomp it. Then I would be buying a new bator not more eggs lmao!
When I had mine I let the bottom of mine soak in the tub with bleach water and wipe out the top with more diluted bleach water when that was done I would go back and scrub out the bottom as best I could....then I would blow dry them as much as I could and set in the sun to be sure they finished drying.
