Cleaning Live Well

[cache22]

What is the easiest and best way you know of cleaning your live well so it doesn't get so rank

[CRAPPOLI]

Rinse thouroughly after each and every use...........bleach once in a while doesnt hurt either.

clorox anywhere hard surface cleaner and a powerwasher, rinse it real good

On my boat, I just dump a couple gallons of water with a couple tablespoons of pinesol in it and let it drain out. Then I leave the lid open and let it dry.

bleach water is a good all purpose cleaner - also good for mold / mildew off of campers, vinyl siding, "rainrot" on horses, general dandruff and itching on horses and dogs, funk smell in tight quarters (ie. livewells, gun/rod boxes), killing chiggers (by taking a bath in it, just a few capfuls) Good stuff, right up there with epsom salts.

The pinesol mixed with water is good... I would be careful using the bleach, especially if you have a live well pump. The bleach will harm the seals in the pump...Thumbs Up

car wash. stick the hose in, shut the lid and blast away. drain out and leave the lid open

The best is not to use it. I fill it with water when fishing just to add weight to an aluminum boat, but I put my fish on ice in a cooler so they stay fresh. No dead fish in the live well going soft. When I did use it, cleaned it with bleach water and drained. Also sunshine is great for killing odors.

I don't clean it often, but bleach works good. Then I just put the hose in & let it run and drain out the overflow for an hr or so(flushes it), then leave the lid open till it dries.
