I fumigate my incubators with a product called Bactosan,which is a non-toxic alternative to formaldehyde.

Unfortunately Bactosan is no longer available as the good old government has banned one of the substances used in it.:roll:

Up to this point there is no alternative product.
Potasium permanganate is a good one but as has been stated its pritty good at killing you off if you mix it wrong or breath it in.

Potasium permanganate is only any good if you add the formalin (40% strength) as well :)

You can wash it down with something like F10, but I prefer formalin gas as it gets into all teh fan areas and other parts you can't wash.

Alpha Genesis makes an ozone machine that will kill bacteria in incubators but not people. They sell it with China Prairie incubators

I have a Ozone Generator from China Prairie, I had to buy a 110v to 230 volt converter but along with the incubators I bought at the same time it works 100% and is not dangerous to us or our eggs but kills off all bacteria
