Cool box, real life experiences

[dnh1]

I have a cool box. I tend to drink red bull, or other substances, that I leave in there and they tip over and spill. It smells horrible. I clean the cool box every few weeks, and I put the white plastic pad in the dishwasher. Nothing works.

Does anyone have a good cleaning method for this thing?

I'm all ears, I have the same problem. My fan even gets stuck inside and I have to tap on it to engage!

By the way, I have tried wiping down with Clorox and keeping a box of baking soda in there, still did not solve the issue.

Huh? You put an open can in there?

I keep mine loaded with unopened water...

You can remove the cool box to clean it. Not sure the exact steps, but it can be done.

When I purchased my 200 slightly used I noticed it did not have the white tray. Figured it did not do much so have just went without. I keep unopened beverages in there at all times. Twist top flavored water or soda in the can. Never a problem and just like new. I wish there was more console storage but it is a worthwhile tradeoff because there have been many a time I was parched and it was very convenient to have a cold bev ready at hand.

my granny put a open bowl of vinegar in the kitchen fridge to draw out the smell. Worth a try...

Westley's Bleche-White...it's not just for tires! I've used it on everything from tires to highchair trays that were stained with red Kool-Aid. Works every time!

Dont know the name but I had an unwanted companion return from Big Bend, he did not survive but his presence is ever smelled. The only thing that worked was pet urine neutralizer from from local pet shop. While it did not rid the smell entirely, it was the only thing effective. Many brands to chose from and don't smell half bad.

The cool box gets pretty hot after a few hours of driving. I had stored some chocolate in there and it all got melted. The whole thing is a pain to use. I have to use some zip lock bags to organize my things in the deep cool box/storage.
