After removing any old shells,
fluff and dirt, it is best to soak non-electrical
parts like egg trays in a disinfectant solution
for an hour before scrubbing clean.
Do not use the dishwasher!
Clean around heaters and fans
with a brush or slightly damp cloth using the
same disinfectant solution. Be very careful not
to let water get near any electrical parts including
motors, heaters and control housings. Use Brinsea
Incubation Disinfectant Concentrate
which is both powerful and safe and has been specially
formulated to kill bacteria and fungi associated
with birds and is available online from www.Brinsea.com
Leave the incubator parts to dry
thoroughly. If they are properly clean they should
no longer have a strong odour. Don't forget to
clean any extra parts or equipment you used too.
Once completely dry, store these items in a protective
carton or box in a cool dry location where it
won't get jostled or knocked over.
