[Histonet] RE: Waterbaths

[McAnn, Sherrian]

I  wash mine with hot soapy water and a soft green scrubby to remove the
day's paraffin and bacteria (I'm sure it grows some).  Then squirt a
little absolute in it and wipe around to help dry it .  We have a
morning person who fills all water baths every morning. Personally I
don't like the idea of letting water sit overnight as I feel that dust
can fall into it.  Also I feel like it could be a good  breeding ground
for bacteria. This is just my personal opinion

I empty mine each day and dry it. Mine does not have a glass insert or I
would run it through the dishwasher so instead I wash it every few days
with warm, soapy water.

Just wondering if everyone leaves the distilled water in their water
baths overnight or replaces the water first thing in the morning?  Also,
what do you use to clean your water baths?
