Incubator cleaners?

[PolloAdoro]

I am using my new Brinsea incubator now for the first time and was wondering what you all use to clean them out with after the hatch. I know with the styrofoam ones people use bleach, how about in a non styrofoam one like my brinsea? Of course Brinsea offers a cleaner, but I'm sure it's an over priced product.

You really only need hot water, a mild soap, and a sponge. Nothing fancy. Nothing that can't be easily rinsed off so that there isn't a residue to affect later hatches. Bleach the sponge or microwave it to keep it clean for later use.

Brinsea offers a disinfectent solution for cleaning incubators, I've never used it though. I just use disinfectant wipes and wipe everything down.

The Brinsea cleaner is highly concentrated, so that's a plus. I bought it because I was a newbie and determined to do everything as right as I could. It's so concentrated I have plenty of the small bottle left, have had multiple hatches, and I clean my brooders with it!

Weak half capful of clorox bleach and a drop of dawn dishwashing liquid solution and warm water for my Brinsea. The top just gets wiped down with a dampcloth in the same thing and dried well.
