coolidor plastic smell

I washed my coolers out with distilled water and dish soap and let them sit open over night. The next day I would take just distilled water with a cloth over it again and let it sit again over night. By day three the smell is gone.

Baking soda and hot water works well. Usually the first time you use it.

I am not sure where you got the idea that chemicals like bleach and alcohol would be a good idea.

hahahahahaha, yup.

I have found the putting it outside and propping the lid open for a day or so works.
Another thing is a small tub or bucket of water inside....It works with painted rooms.

I did nothing with mine except fill it with cigar boxes full of cigars!!! I've never detected a plastic odor!!! I also have a few sheets of Spanish cedar in mine! The more wood and cigars the better!!!

Add Cedar like others have said.In a short time it will have a aroma like a Cedar cabinet when you open it.
