Cleaning a livewell

[igotworms]

What is the best way to clean a livewell without leaving a chemical that could hurt the fish. My brother-in-law left water in mine for 2 weeks and now the walls are slimy and stinky. Anyone know a good solution?

Spray it down with a garden hose, then let it dry outside in the mid day's sun. It should be good to go after that.

I also use water and wet rag most of the time, with nothing else. Occasionally I may put a little bleach in with the water, but I rinse it really well after using the bleach solution.

Would a baking soda/water mix do any good?

vinegar might cut the slim but you will have to rinse if a few times to clear it out.

Water and a scrub brush, let it air dry.

My ol' man once told me,

There are only two things in this world that can be filthy, slimy, and smelly......

and the other one is the inside of a fishin boat!! If it aint, your not doin it right!
