Sterilizing a cooler?
So, I ended up with mold in my cooler, and I tried using a bleach cleaner to kill off anything growing in there, but since I can still smell tobacco, I can't help but think that there's still mold in there too. Is there anything I can do to purge this out, or should I just plan on tossing the cooler entirely? Thanks.

Well, if bleach didn't do it,
you could try nuclear radiation.

I am not so sure that I would've used bleach. Wouldn't the bleach leave an odor?

I think it's somewhere in the 20-30-ish quarts (Coleman, about the size of a large man's torso). No smell of bleach anywhere on or about it so far.

Odd are that your bleaching killed the mold - but if you want to be entirely certain (because mold spores are tenacious little fuckers), go to a local home-brew store. get some Star San sanitizer.http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/b.../star-san.html
follow the directions - 1 oz to 5 gallons of water. fill the cooler, soak the lid (probably dip it into the cooler 1/2 for 2 minutes, rotate...). after 4 minutes max, transfer to a clean container - the stuff is re-useable! it is an ACID - will reduce the pH of that 5 gallons of water to about 1.5... so don't leave it soak that plastic too long!
