just a small little update. Got it cleaned off and currently resting over night with cleaner and water in it. Will dump in the morning and leave in the sun for about 8 hours. Then pulling it in and either putting baking soda in a bowl and placing inside and closing, or newspaper to soak up any smell. then will check back in the morning to check for smells!

I wouldn't leave it overnight with "cleaner" sitting in there. And my concern may be unfounded but I would worry a bit that the cleaner might infuse it's odor into the plastic. I may be wrong about that but if it were mine I'd go ahead and rinse it out with warm/hot water and get all that cleaner rinsed out now and start letting it air dry overnight. Then tomorrow go ahead with the other preparations you mentioned. Just my 2 cents.

went with this advice. Airing out now! Goodnight y'all.
maybe someone can help me out.
My cooler wont drop below 80 on the hygrometer (it reads 3 high. lol) I have tried everything that I have read up on to lower the humidity. Any suggestions??
How long has it been reading 80? And what is the humidity of the room? How full is your cooler?
its been reading 80 for about 12+ hours. I have been trying to get it lower before I put all my cigars in. I have some silica beads in there currently. Tempted to try boveda packs.
Honestly, everywhere down here is majorly humid. Thats florida. hahah xD
On my first kl experiment myself, but I read a thread on another forum about someone using kl in Florida. The poster had a similar issue and would put the kl in the oven to reduce the rh before putting it in the humi. I found the thread searching for someone using the ambient wireless hygrometer, which this guy was. Search on that and u should find it. Pretty detailed
You can get some Kitty Litter (Test the RH in a closed container) and add it straight to the cooler or bake it if needed. (Google that.) KL is cheap and you can experiment with it, toss it aside, and you still got 7 more pounds to play with.
