Clorox Disinfecting Wipes

[Doll Maker]

Are these ok to use to wipe down the inside of the plastic tote brooders when I clean them out?? Sure would be easier than mixing up bleach and water. I use them all around the house, especially during the winter when colds and flu abound.
Thanks!!

I have used them in and around my brooder as well as near my 'teenagers' and adult birds with no issues.

If I need to disinfect for an illness or something, then I do go to the bleach/water but these are great for the day to day stuff!

What is the brooder made of?

Honestly I have never found a need to bleach my brooder.

I would think it is safe if diluted 1/4 cup (or less) to a gallon of water, rinsed well and thoroughly dry before setting it back up.

You make the mixture. You dilute the clorox by putting the desired amount in plain water.

Just a very small amount of clorox will do. By very small amount I mean 1/4 cup or less mixed into one gallon of plain water.
