I used Oxyclean once. IT worked really well. Leaves a bit of a residue that must be cleaned out after you drain it but it did the trick for an old mildew stained and stinky cooler.

I like Clorox clean...It's a bleach and detergent. Kills smell and growth. For lighter cleanings, 409 and micro fiber cloth and always air dry. The paper towel with vanilla extract trick works to get rid of old odors too.

Fill with water and some bleach.  Only way to go.  Leave it for a bit and it's clean.  I've saved coolers that had fish in them for months and made you damn near puke when you crack the lid.

Yep that's what I do.

I just use dawn dish soap, a sponge and the hose in the front yard.  I make sure they are dried out completely before allowing the lid to close and I store them unplugged always.  If I have to put it away a little wet, I just put a piece of scrap wood or something between the cooler and lid so some air gets in there.

The rotomolded coolers clean a lot easier.  That smoother, less textured surface goes pretty quickly.
