End of summer tip

When you are storing away your ice chests and water coolers for the season there is an easy way to keep them from picking up that stale/musty/off smell that they get when they sit around closed for a while.

Simply take a sheet or two of newspaper, crumple it loosely and put it inside the ice chest or cooler before you close it up. The newspaper absorbs any remaining moisture and smell from the cooler so when you open it the next time it is nice and fresh.

Sounds too simple, but it really really works.
