You’re home from your latest camping trip, tailgating party or backyard BBQ. It’s time to clean the Coleman® cooler. But how?
Start with a mild dish soap—one without additives—and add it to a bucket of warm water. Wipe down the cooler, inside and out. If your cooler has a faucet or plugged drain, get your sponge in there and then drain the cooler completely. Let the whole thing dry with the lid open.
If you’ve got a tough stain, try some baking soda with water to scrub it away.
If your situation is more of a stinky one, wipe it down with a warm water/chlorine bleach mix. If that doesn’t kill the odor, wipe the inside with a cloth soaked in vanilla extract. Then leave the cloth in the cooler with the lid shut overnight. Just be sure to rinse it out before you use it again.
