sterilization

[cecilias9]

So what method do you all use to sterilize your stir paddle twice a day?

Plastic spray bottle with K-Meta. 4 or 5 sprays, wait 10-15 seconds and then wipe it down with a clean paper towel.

Some people report their bottles don't last more than a few months but mine has lasted a year now without any problems. Could be my location/climate.

1st we Don't Sterlize we Sanitize. Big difference. Like ibglowin said mix meta in a spray bottle and spray it.

I also do the same as Mike and Tepe. My spray bottle has also lasted well over a year.

Yep, spray bottle here with the mixture of 3 tbsl of k-meta (potassium metabisulfite) to one gallon of water. Give everything a spray and let it sit 5 minutes.

Thank you all. Wanted to make sure I am doing this right. I don't have potassium metabisulfate but sodium metabisulfate, which is pretty much the same thing, I guess.
