Helpful Hint for Storing Coolers

[Nutneze]

Before you put the cooler away take a ball of paper towels and put a little artificial vanilla on the paper towels. Throw them in the cooler and the cooler will smell good as new next time you pull it out. I keep a roll of paper towels and a bottle of cheap artificial vanilla on the shelf right next to the coolers. Alot of times when I am getting the coolers ready I will just put the paper towels I pulled out of the cooler on the work bench and re-use them when I get home.

The paper towels also soak up that little bit of moisture left over after you wash it out.

No more musty smelling coolers

Cool. I've been putting coffee in them but you have to make sure they are dry first. Your idea sounds easier.

Great tip thanks. If you want to make your coolers look brand new with no scrubbing spray them down with LYSOL mold and mildew remover let it soak a minute and spray them off with the hose. They will look as nice as the day you bought them.
