Question

How do you get the spoiled food smell out of a cooler?

Answer 1

I don't find that baking soda works very well.  

So, instead I went with a fragrance free product called Fridge-It odor absorbers.  I originally bought it for bait cooler which is really stinky.  If it works for that, seems like it would be great for you.  Recommended by a friend for all kinds of odors, I now use it around house - fridge, under sinks, near trash, closets, cabinet and even litter box (cats). It really helps to keep things smelling clean. I love them.

So, suggest you get some of the FRIDGE-IT activated carbon odor absorbers - little purple cube - not the imitations.

You can buy these in kitchen gadget stores or just go direct which is what I do - contact them at [e-mail] and ask for order form. You get it right away.

Definitely the way to go. try it.

Good luck

Answer 2

Fill it with a bleach and water solution and leave it soaking with the lid on over night.

Answer 3

Baking soda.  Open a box and put it in there.

Answer 4

Baking soda is the top homemade remedy I can think of for that. Also use an air freshener that neutralizes odors. Hope I helped!

Answer 5

Put in an open box of baking soda. It will absorb the smell. If that doesn't work, try cleaning it with vinegar.

Answer 6

Baking soda and water paste rubbed all over.  the paste works it into all the nooks and crannies, and the baking soda absorbs all sorts of odors.  after cleaning leave a box of soda in the cooler.
