Was that a lot of water?

Do you remember the last time you cleaned your cooler? Like really cleaned it? Then it is probably time to do it again.
Minimally, you should be wiping down your bottles each time you load a new one. We suggest putting a reminder sign on the cooler or the bottles to remind your family or co-workers when they load a new cooler to wipe it down first. Or a reminder to you when you again replace the empty bottle that the teenager left for you to do.
Here is the breakdown on how to get your cooler sanitized. Follow the step by step directions or watch the video of the most used cooler.
