I use paper towels for something like that. Dish soap and hot water in a pail or something, maybe hose it off outside with an easy spray. Depends on how dirty it is.
How much sunshine? This is New York State, sunshine is --ah--well, July is usually quite warm. All afternoon. That may not be appropriate wherever you are. The weather in the southwest looks awful. Looks like an afternoon in the sun would melt metal.
I don't know, I just set things out on the porch on a sunny day until they get good and dry and it starts to get dark. If we have any. We get a whole lot of days that are "Kodak Days", what Kodak calls "cloudy-bright". It's warm and humid, and bright, but not exactly sunny, total hazy clouds. You can get sunburned without realizing it. It's also known as "Lake Ontario Gray", caused by air coming down across the lakes, either warmer or colder than the water.
Just something for your trivia file.
And remember----they're chickens. Not people. They're a whole lot tougher than you are. You don't have to be television level antiseptic.
I have lots of faith in dish soap. If it will clean dishes that have been sitting for some time with food on them well enough so you don't get sick, and it's safe enough to rinse off the dishes and eat on them, and not destroy your hands in the process, it has to be pretty good stuff. One of the ordinary things in life that are highly under-appreciated, like paper towels and toilet paper.
Sorry for philosophizing----

How long do you leave it in the sun? Would one day be enough? How
do you clean the top part of your incubator (the part with the heater, fan,
etc).
Thanks,
