The most thorough and safe way to clean the cooling pads is by combining water and vinegar in a 50-50 ratio solution. You can rinse or soak the pads in the solution. This will disinfect the pads and also keep away any odors. Once the pads are washed, rinse them with water and allow them to dry before placing them back inside the cooler.
How can I prevent my cooler from spoiling?
The high temperatures that occur in the summer months and warmer climates can help to catalyze the spoiling process.

If this isn’t possible, consider bringing some large ZipLock bags that you can store the open items in.
