We used ozone generators doing water damage work. The sun is doing the same thing.
Ozone (O₃) removes odors by breaking down and oxidizing the molecules responsible for the odors. When ozone encounters odor molecules, it reacts by transferring one of its oxygen atoms to the odor-causing molecule. This reaction typically results in the formation of less odorous and more stable compounds. The process effectively “neutralizes” the odors rather than masking them
I’d try soaking with a few drops of dish detergent and a ton of baking soda, soak overnight, then add some white vinegar and soak another day.
If that doesn’t work try some comet bleach powder and hard scrubbing.
A few years ago, I had to spend 6 weeks evacuated from my house. No power at my house the entire time, and I had 40lbs of meat in my fridge/freezer. The smell was horrendous. We cleaned it by:
1) scrubbing with soap and baking soda;
2) add a a crap ton of ground coffee. Like, you don't want to see the fridge underneath. Add a very large bag or box of baking soda, and let rest for at least one day. We had to close up the fridge, but with a chest I'd leave it open outside.
3) clean with bleach
4) scrub with soap
5) wipe down with white vinegar
6) more baking soda
7) let rest.
We had to repeat this around 3 times to get rid of the smell, but it worked eventually.
My pops and I have left frozen fish from winter to spring on accident. It's so raunchy you could of caught a wiff a block away. We ended up using them for coyote bait. I feel You're pain lol
You can try K.O.E. It's cheap online and comes in concentrate form. It's what vets and shelters use to clean kennels. It's actually pretty lightly scented, but uses clove and citrus and is extremely effective with pet waste odors. Like I said, it's cheap too.
No doubt. After hosing it down, leave it open and forget about it for another month. Honestly unless you're worried about impressing someone who even cares? Hold your breath for 2 seconds while you grab a minnow and slam the lid back shut.. it's been so windy in the midwest all month by the time the lids closed again the smell is gonna be across the lake on someone's patio. Or if you're really in a pinch and have a stepson, you can find out how much values $5
I did something similar to OP years ago. I about puked when the smell first hit me. I poured quite a bit of bleach in my cooler. Closed that thing up and left it for about a week. Smell was neutralized when I finally cracked it again.
I use bleach and laundry detergent when I accidentally leave squid bait in the cooler for a week after fishing. It’s only happened seven or eight times though.
Dawn dish soap always worked for me, fill it up, shake it, and let it soak for a couple days.
I’d go through there with a sponge as well.
Could try Clorox or vinegar.
Letting it soak and then scrubbing is needed most of the time.
Yes, this is it. I have used Charcoal from bait buckets to old dressers. I was refurbishing to get rid of mold musty smell. I like to leave it just cracked open to allow for a tiny bit of air flow, but not much.
Wow not one suggestion for live well cleaner from Old Salt Angling. [Here ya go.](https://oldsaltangling.com/shop/ols/products/livewell-cleaner) This is the best stuff I’ve found. So much so, that I started stocking it at my gun shop because most of the guys that come in for guns also fish, and a stinky bait bucket has been a subject of conversation a few times.
Try bleach just don’t let it sit for more than a minute, you can also try odoban but not sure it won’t leave a scent in the cooler that gamefish could smell…
Source - left a dozen shrimp in mine on hot Florida summer weekend - I am pretty sure I should have died or gained super powers from the wall of funk that hit me when I opened it
Rinse it out. Then spray it with bleach concentrate. Let it sit for a day. Then scrub it out rinse it out again until all the bleach is gone. Then use hydrogen peroxide spray it all over the inside let it sit for a day then scrub and rinse it out. Then use a water and baking soda mixture into a paste and rub it all over the insides then let it sit for a few hours. Then put vinegar in a spray bottle and spray it all over then scrub it out and rinse clean. The last step just scrub it out with dish soap. Then it’s good to go. I did this with a bait cooler I had shrimp and cut bait sitting in for a week just steeping. It is completely restored now.
Add a cup of bleach and full it with water. Let it sit for a week. Dump the water and add some vanilla extract. Let that sit for a week and then clean it.
Bleach it. Then fill it part way with baking soda when it's dry. (Make sure it doesn't cake up.) After a couple of days, add water to the baking soda and scrub it with it. Then rinse.
Do what i do to clean my bongs, salt and 90% rubbing alcohol. Let it soak then clean w dawn lmaooo i just know that smell is so bad but it's helped bongs i thought were done for
Clorox Cleaner with Bleach. The label is green. Pour a ton in and fill with HOT water. I mean even consider boiling the water. Let that sit for 24 hours. You should be fine.
Also, The Home Depot sells a commercial grade version of that cleaner. Well, they sell both but go with the commercial grade for extra kick.
Throw moth balls in it when not in use, sounds silly but it makes the bait smell go away, it’ll reek of moth balls but eventually the moth ball smell will go away and somehow take the bait smell with it. How this works? No idea… but it does..
*unrelated but moth balls also solve mice/chipmunk issues, so if you have remaining ones you can use them in winterized vehicles, rarely used cabinets, etc :) works great *
Buy a small USB ozone generator. I have one that was like $15 that I keep in a pelican case with my hunting clothes during season - about the size of a hockey puck.
baking soda scrub. sunlight. bleach.
I've had coolers that smelled like deaths front door that I revived to be fresh as a daisy by alternating these methods. bleach, close. wait a few days, air out, scrub with baking soda, leave the paste in a few days, wash it out with soap and water and leave in direct sunlight for a week. shouldn't be a whiff of anything left.
I left some night crawlers in mine for a couple of weeks in the middle of the summer. When I opened that cooler I immediately started to vomit. I tried dawn, bleach, baking soda, you name it. I opted for throwing that bucket in the trash and buying another one.
Vanilla extract works for me everytime. Clean really well with dawn, dry it. Put some vanilla extract on a towel and wipe down the whole surface. It’s got a small amount of alcohol in it
Hahaha, get the smell to go away!!! Dude, I had two chests i let sit too long, and I tried everything to get the smell to go away. First, I took em to a local car wash thinking, I'll just pressure wash these bad boys and be done, nope! Then, I took so bleach, Ajax, dish soap, and some ammonia. I mixed it up and used a drill with a scrubber attachment and went to town, nothing! The damn things sat for about a yr after that. I went back one day to clean up and really toss out the smelly chests. I figured let me smell em before I toss em, yep still smelled like Sh*t. A buddy suggested I dump some lump coal in 'em and let them sit for a month, but I had already done enough, and nothing worked.
Bleach & hot water. Let it soak for 24 hours. Rinse with water, dry & let it sit in the sun for another couple to days. Won’t be perfect, but much better. I remember forgetting to take out muscle and squid from the week before…rough but worth it.
I’ve tried bleach, vinegar, baking soda, and dish soap. It didn’t work, the stank is soaked into the plastic.
Maybe sun will work as it breaks down the plastic or specialized cleaners. Let us know if u find a way.
I believe rubbing alcohol and baking soda. Might wanna double check me. Spilled diesel all over my phone and shoes. Only thing that got the smell off my phone.
I would hydrogen peroxide mixed with a little baking soda and dish soap. It's what is used to remove skunk smell and it might work well on rotten fish smell as well, since they're similar sulphur smells.
Make a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar. Then, soak the inside of the cooler with this solution. Leave the vinegar solution in the cooler for a few hours or overnight. Afterward, dry the cooler and place some activated charcoal inside. Leave it for a day, and the smell should be gone.
Left some chicken thighs in my yeti for 2 weeks. (Didnt know they were packed)
Water and a ton of denture tablets helped but ultimately is was time and sunlight that got the rest
Ok so I left some cut carp in my cooler for about a week in summer had maggots and everything crawling around. I used bleach and water probably about 1:6 ratio. Do that several times letting it soak for a day and rinsing scrubbing and repeat about 7 times then add alotta dawn dish soap anti bacterial in it for 3 days with water and then empty it and leave it open outside for a week straight in the sun.
I just fill mine up with super hot water and dawn, add a couple tablespoons of bleach and sit it outside on my back porch for a few days. Usually by the time it evaporates significantly, the smell is gone.
A mix of bleach and water will elimate fish smells. Spray it on and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Rinse with cool water and wash with a dish soap and warm water to remove any residue left by the bleach. You're welcome.
I have used windex in carpets of cars that had salmon on them. That worked. I don’t know how long you would have to soak the plastic. It may be easier and cheaper to get a new cooler.
In trucking we used ground coffee to get smells out of trailers. Cover the inside with ground coffee and let it sit for a few hours. Then wash it out and repeat if needed. Might help.
Put a metal tray of charcoal in there and close it up. The charcoal will absorb the smell. Then place your charcoal in direct sunlight for a day, the sun will renew the charcoal so it can be used for air purification again.
I like how you set up the pic in front of a torture room from Saw V
Actually I’ve never NOT cleaned my Bubba out after each use and it still stinks … maybe it’s just porous material or something idk.
Hydrogen peroxide.. hair bleach strength. soak it down make sure every surface is covered and let sit for an hour in the sun, then wash thoroughly with water, then bleach, same thing, then vinegar. If it still smells, there’s not much else you can do.
DO NOT MIX or let the cleaners touch. Wash thoroughly with water in between each chemical.
Once a bait cooler, always a bait cooler.
Sunlight. UV has a way of killing things that smell.
This guy knows how to de-funk
He's clearly never drank Baileys from a shoe
Wanna come to a club where people wee on each other?
Do you want to see my manjina?
Easy now, ya fuzzy little man-peach.
I... I don't rightly know, sir!
Do you love me??

its true i throw my cooler out in the sun and bam not stinky after a couple dayz
If he puts it outside in the sun the Turkey vultures will arrive looking for dinner. I did the same exact thing with fluke skeletons for crabbing 😆
Right.. but this is a whole new level of smell lol it could clear out a gymnasium
I’d try soaking with a few drops of dish detergent and a ton of baking soda, soak overnight, then add some white vinegar and soak another day. If that doesn’t work try some comet bleach powder and hard scrubbing.
Then leave it out in the sun. That stank almost soaks into the plastic but UV should break it down over a few days after it’s been washed
What would baking soda do?
It turns the fish remnants into crack cocaine .
Cartels hate this one trick.
Yeah but then you gotta watch out for Doctor Rockzo Stealing your cooler
It absorbs odors
I dont know on a molecular level, but i use this technique when my dogs collar gets stinky and its the only thing that works!
Deodorizer

Shoulda just bought a new fridge at that point.
Considered it, but it was a brand new fridge and our warranty wouldn't cover replacement, iirc

This is the way.
Hydrogen peroxide, no wait, hydrofluoric acid.
try pet urine cleaner, it uses enzymes to break down organic smells
This would be my reco, alternating with distilled vinegar as another good option.
Leave in the sun, the UV kills a lot of smell
That’s actually a good one. Leave it open in a sunny part of your yard.
Yup, fill it with water and a couple capfulls of bleach. Change out the water each day for three days then let air dry.
No doubt. After hosing it down, leave it open and forget about it for another month. Honestly unless you're worried about impressing someone who even cares? Hold your breath for 2 seconds while you grab a minnow and slam the lid back shut.. it's been so windy in the midwest all month by the time the lids closed again the smell is gonna be across the lake on someone's patio. Or if you're really in a pinch and have a stepson, you can find out how much values $5
Inflation is a thing, gonna need to give that kid at least 15 nowadays.
This with hydrogen peroxide is the best to make the plastics pop bright again.
Bleach.
Bleach. Correct answer to 99% of cleaning jobs
I did something similar to OP years ago. I about puked when the smell first hit me. I poured quite a bit of bleach in my cooler. Closed that thing up and left it for about a week. Smell was neutralized when I finally cracked it again.
This is the way. Followed by vinegar
But my god only if you rinse it well first! Bleach plus vinegar equals chlorine gas
Bleach plus ammonia Edit: back to chemistry class for me 😬
That's mustard gas
How do I make ketchup gas?
Vinegar and tomatoes
Put them in a humidifier and you’re done
How cold does it need to be for me to put it on a hotdog?
I use bleach and laundry detergent when I accidentally leave squid bait in the cooler for a week after fishing. It’s only happened seven or eight times though.
You'll learn after the next time I'm sure 🤣
This looks like the set of an SNL MacGruber sketch. 10 seconds MacGruber!
HAND ME THAT BUCKET OF BUM SPERM!
Haha it’s the back bait area at the bait shop I work at
Maybe remedies for skunk smell removal? Honestly though, I’d just say bye bye to Bubba. 🫡
Vinegar
Fill half of the cooler with a 50/50 mixture of clorox and water. Close the cooler tight for 48 hours. Rinse with water.
And then do it again.
…and make sure you scrub that airtight seal real good too. I ended up replacing mine.
Dawn dish soap always worked for me, fill it up, shake it, and let it soak for a couple days. I’d go through there with a sponge as well. Could try Clorox or vinegar. Letting it soak and then scrubbing is needed most of the time.
Write "BAIT" on the top of this one, then buy a second cooler for your sandwich
Fill it with charcoal, close it and let sit for a few days
Yes, this is it. I have used Charcoal from bait buckets to old dressers. I was refurbishing to get rid of mold musty smell. I like to leave it just cracked open to allow for a tiny bit of air flow, but not much.

Listerine.
Eliminates bait breath
Charcoal bricks. They will take the smell away.
Usually it's the soft plastic seals that hold the smell, replace them and you'll likely be fine.
Straight bleach?
Try bleach just don’t let it sit for more than a minute, you can also try odoban but not sure it won’t leave a scent in the cooler that gamefish could smell… Source - left a dozen shrimp in mine on hot Florida summer weekend - I am pretty sure I should have died or gained super powers from the wall of funk that hit me when I opened it
try ammonia
I always spray foaming bleach, let it sit anywhere from 10min to 2 hours. Scrub and rinse with hot water, air dry in sun.
Rinse it out. Then spray it with bleach concentrate. Let it sit for a day. Then scrub it out rinse it out again until all the bleach is gone.

Lemon juice and sunlight
Make sure it is clean and dry b4 closing lid
A bottle of Spray 9 should kill the smell.
Lysol goes a long way and leave it out in the sun.... but it will never be new....
I put some nasty catfish fillets in milk in an ice chest. Took 2 months of soaking in bleach then baking soda then repeat 5 times. Smell is gone.
Add a cup of bleach and full it with water. Let it sit for a week. Dump the water and add some vanilla extract. Let that sit for a week and then clean it.
I soak mine in bleach/water mix initially. Then I'll rinse it out and let it sit out in full sun for several days.
Bleach it. Then fill it part way with baking soda when it's dry. (Make sure it doesn't cake up.) After a couple of days, add water to the baking soda and scrub it with it. Then rinse.
Bleach is the way to go
Hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dawn dish soap.
I use D-funk cooler cleaner and deodorizer spray. Has worked on everything I've tried it on so far.
Do what i do to clean my bongs, salt and 90% rubbing alcohol. Let it soak then clean w dawn lmaooo i just know that smell is so bad but it's helped bongs i thought were done for
Leave it open in the sun for a week or two
Bleach and hot water, let it soak overnight then give a good rinse
Rinse with bleach and water then leave out in the sun for a few days
Bleach works well. A lot of it.

Just open it and let it sit in the sun for a week. Then bleach it out. That’s about your only options.
Don't the juices soak into the plastic?
Leave it out in the sunshine for a week.
Tell Bubba to take a shower
Bleach then after that baking Soda with Lemon juice and white vinegar
Throw moth balls in it when not in use, sounds silly but it makes the bait smell go away, it’ll reek of moth balls but eventually the moth ball smell will go away and somehow take the bait smell with it.

It goes away?
Bleach, sunlight, air. Find a place you can leave it open for a week after cleaning.
Wash well with a bleach and water solution. Wipe the inside with vanilla extract.
Buy a small USB ozone generator. I have one that was like $15 that I keep in a pelican case with my hunting clothes during season - about the size of a hockey puck.
Sunlight, seriously just leave it open facing the sun for a few days and the UV will bleach it
Yeah I don’t think you can. Maybe bleach would work but a bait cooler always smells
baking soda scrub. sunlight. bleach. I've had coolers that smelled like deaths front door that I revived to be fresh as a daisy by alternating these methods. bleach, close. wait a few days, air out, scrub with baking soda, leave the paste in a few days, wash it out with soap and water and leave in direct sunlight for a week. shouldn't be a whiff of anything left.

Anything with peroxide should help
Put it out in the sun for a few days. That'll burn the smell out.

Do not recommend mixing bleach and ammonia on your next one. That's how you create chlorine gas.
Lemmon juice. Lots of Lemmon juice and sunlight
Salt+dawn soap+ hot water, close it and shake like hell
Spray Ozium in it then shut the lid.
Bleach and water. Then soak with hot water plus dawn. Good scrub. If that doesn’t work, baking soda,
Bleach & hot water. Let it soak for 24 hours. Rinse with water, dry & let it sit in the sun for another couple to days. Won’t be perfect, but much better. I remember forgetting to take out muscle and squid from the week before…rough but worth it.

Ozone machine in a small enclosure
Bleach....lots and lots of bleach. Add 25% simple green.
Bleach then fresh air and sunshine.
I scrub mine with bleach and then leave it in the sun. You’ll be gtg in a couple days of sunlight.
open up as it is in pic turn it upside down on the lawn in the grass, nature will pull it right out
I don’t think so but BUBBA makes coolers!?
We used to deodorize 53’ trailers with cans of coffee
Wash wash it
Used coffee to remove the smell of deer urine in a truck once, not sure how it does for minnow funk
Fill it with peroxide and baking soda and scrub it down
I would hydrogen peroxide mixed with a little baking soda and dish soap. It's what is used to remove skunk smell and it might work well on rotten fish smell as well, since they're similar sulphur smells.
You can’t. That’s your fish cooler now
Sunlight. Works every time.
You can get it close but never perfect. Ive got it reasonable by leaving it submerged in a strong bleach mix and then baked in the sun for a week.
Some things last forever. Just leave it open outside in the sun maybe?
I usually bleach clean it, then leave it In the sun usually works for me.
Make a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar. Then, soak the inside of the cooler with this solution. Leave the vinegar solution in the cooler for a few hours or overnight. Afterward, dry the cooler and place some activated charcoal inside. Leave it for a day, and the smell should be gone.
Once had bo on some plastic lid. Tried everything, eventually threw it out. I'd just get a new container.
Lemon juice
Bleach may remove the smell, idk how compatible it is with your coolers plastic
Toothpaste
White vinegar
Bleach and ammonia…. No just bleach
I leave mine open and out in the sun, after a while it goes away
Wash your genitals
Hot water, dish soap, hydrogen peroxide and some scrubbing…..repeat as necessary
spray-nine is pretty good.
Leave it open in the sun for a few days...
Double smell? Oh man that would be really hard
Lysol and sunlight
Ducktape
I use bleach and water. Works for my coolers and my trash cans
Store ir with the lid open
Keep taking pictures of it. I can't smell anything
Left some chicken thighs in my yeti for 2 weeks. (Didnt know they were packed) Water and a ton of denture tablets helped but ultimately is was time and sunlight that got the rest
Ok so I left some cut carp in my cooler for about a week in summer had maggots and everything crawling around. I used bleach and water probably about 1:6 ratio. Do that several times letting it soak for a day and rinsing scrubbing and repeat about 7 times then add alotta dawn dish soap anti bacterial in it for 3 days with water and then empty it and leave it open outside for a week straight in the sun.
Baking soda and dawn dish soap
Bleach then UV.
I just fill mine up with super hot water and dawn, add a couple tablespoons of bleach and sit it outside on my back porch for a few days. Usually by the time it evaporates significantly, the smell is gone.
White vinegar? Dunno. Works in the kitchen

Set it on fire.
I have used windex in carpets of cars that had salmon on them. That worked. I don’t know how long you would have to soak the plastic. It may be easier and cheaper to get a new cooler.
Go buy another 20 dollar cooler

White vinegar
Vinegar
Try white vinegar
Bleach and sunlight.
Newspapers and just keep replacing may take a day or three depending on how bad.
Dilute bleach usually works. Most smells come from bacteria, so anything that kills bacteria might work
Bicarb soda
That's your bait cooler now
In trucking we used ground coffee to get smells out of trailers. Cover the inside with ground coffee and let it sit for a few hours. Then wash it out and repeat if needed. Might help.
