Cleaning your IceMule cooler is a simple process that depends on what you've stored inside. Following the manufacturer's guidance ensures your cooler stays fresh and ready for your next adventure.
There are two main methods for cleaning your IceMule, based on whether it contained only ice or other organic contents.
Cleaning Methods Based on Cooler Contents
The specific steps you take to clean your IceMule cooler depend directly on the contents it held.
Cleaning When Only Ice Was Stored
If your IceMule cooler was used exclusively for ice and contained no food or spilled beverages like beer or soda, the cleaning is straightforward. According to the instructions, "If you've only stored ice inside (i.e. no food or spilled beer or soda), simply pour the ice out and hang the ICEMULE upside down to dry."
The steps are:
- Pour out all the ice.
- Hang the ICEMULE upside down to allow it to dry completely.
Cleaning After Storing Organic Contents
If you've used your IceMule cooler to store food, spilled beer, soda, or any other organic contents, a more thorough cleaning is needed. The instructions state, "If you've had organic contents in the cooler, simply put a few drops of liquid soap (e.g. dishwashing soap) inside the cooler and then hose it out."
The steps are:
- Put a few drops of liquid soap (such as dishwashing soap) inside the cooler.
- Hose it out to rinse away the soap and any residue.
