the general steps to clean a cooler box are as follows:
- Rinse the cooler box with a water hose, removing loose dirt and residue.
- Sprinkle a layer of baking soda over the damp interior of the cooler box. If needed, add some water to make a paste.
- Spray the entire interior of the cooler box with vinegar. The baking soda and vinegar will fizz. Let it fizz for 3-5 minutes.
- Scrub the interior of the cooler box with a brush or sponge. For stubborn stains, you can use Mr. Clean MagicEraser or a toothbrush.
- Rinse the cooler box with clean water and dry it.
If the cooler box has an odor, you can also pour some white vinegar and water mixture at the bottom and let it soak overnight or two, then wash it again.
