What Do I Use to Sanitize Styrofoam Incubator?

[ButtonHoarder]

I just picked up my incubator yesterday, and it’s pretty dirty. It’s a Genesis Hova-Bator. I know some people use bleach or vinegar, but I’ve heard of using hydrogen peroxide?
What would be best for a styrofoam incubator?
Thanks for any future help!

I’ve already cleaned the bottom with a plant based dish soap, and was going to do the same thing to the top.

I use a weak bleach solution, then rinse it really well.

Ok, mix it with an amount of water?

 

[Ridgerunner]

Yes. I don't measure it but maybe 20% bleach and 80% water.

Okay, thank you.

I have a couple of 1588s, too. I wash the bottom parts with soap and hot water, scrub gently as needed, rinse well, then - like @Ridgerunner - soak in diluted bleach. I then rinse the bleach off and put the styro bottom, liner, and mesh floor in the sun to UV sanitize.

For the top, I use compressed air to blow out the fan really well, and wipe the top's surfaces with alcohol (70%) and allow it to dry.

The incubator has been sanitized. Now I just have to wait for my eggs to get here!!
