Remember to include your Mammoth Cooler in your spring cleaning campaign. Regular care and a good deep cleaning can keep it in top condition for years to come.
Why should I clean my cooler?
Many items you place in your cooler, such as raw meat, can leave behind residue. This leads to built-up bacteria and mold that could contaminate your food and cause serious health issues. A good cleaning can prevent harmful bacteria and extend the life of your cooler.
When should I clean my cooler?
Cleaning your cooler after every use is best to prevent bacterial buildup, but it’s especially important to completely remove residue immediately after carrying meat and other perishable foods.
How do I clean my cooler?
- Rinse the cooler with water to remove any loose dirt, mud, or residue.
- Wipe the cooler with a sponge or cloth dipped in a mixture of warm water, dish soap, and baking soda to help remove any stains, grease, or residue. For the deepest cleaning to remove mold or mildew, add a small amount of bleach or vinegar.
- Rinse the solution off with clean water.
- Let the cooler dry upside down with the lid open in a sunny spot to eliminate moisture and prevent odor.
Once it’s clean and dry, store the cooler in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity to prevent damage and mold growth.
