What is the best thing to clean an incubator?

[stoopid]

I use bleach, and leave out in the sun for at least a day.
But I just ordered Oxine, dying to see how it works!

I have Brinsea 20.
Here is my cleaning step and done outside the house:
1) dump all the shell and unhatched eggs to the trash can
2) wash down with water hose
3) wash with soap and let it sit about 1 minute before rinse with water.
4) add 1/2 - 1 table spoon of bleach with water and wash the incubator and then let it sit for couple minutes and rinse with water.
5) let sit in the sun few hours.

That's what I do, plus I use an old soft toothbrush to gently clean.

I've always used bleach, usually a dilute solution but sometimes I spray it on neat and scrub the gunky bits with a toothbrush before rinsing under hot water. I've never had a problem with residual fumes and it's always worked well for me. I've got an Octagon 20 and after each hatch I scrub out the base and rinse, and wipe the top half with a bleach solution dampened cloth, then a cloth sjust soaked in hot water to wipe the bleach away.

Every third or fourth hatch I dismantle the base section and the top half of it completely to clean it thoroughly. I reduce it to a scary looking pile of component parts so I can clean properly round the heating element and fan and sensors. It takes a while but I think it's worth doing...

I'm an oxine fan. I know it's not cheap, but it lasts for a long time, and works very well.
