Recommended Cleaning Protocol
Please refer to the recommended cleaning protocol to sanitize your KIBO and its parts:
- Create a 2% bleach solution (4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water, or 5 tablespoons (1/3 cup) bleach per gallon of water).
- Wet a soft cloth with the bleach solution. Rub the outside of the KIBO robot and all component parts (blocks, modules, white boards, art stages, etc.) with the wet cloth.
- Allow to air dry. Do not rinse off.
Note: Do not immerse your KIBO or parts in water or any liquid solution. Use unexpired household bleach at the recommended concentration. For more information, please check the CDC website. CDC also maintains a List of Approved Disinfectants if you would like to find alternatives to a bleach solution.
