Sooo , About 2 years ago I picked up a nice mid size Cooler at the side of a dim road. No cracks , Good inside but I think it was dumped full of deer or hog guts. If you leave the lid closed for a few days, it stinks BAD. I originally filled it up with water and let it soak for like a month...still stinks 2 years later. I ain't throwing it away cause I'm not Big Money like the rest of ya'll. Any suggestions to make it smell as good as my Tally sex addict's cooter. TIA

If you've tried bleach and vinegar, the last ditch solution is baking soda, lemon juice, and water. Full box baking soda, full bottle leman juice, fill water. It will foam up and fizzle.
My guess is there is a hole someplace and the bacteria got inside the air space / foam and is making it smell. You got bacteria some place causing the oder. Look for a vent hole. If it's inside the lining, you ain't never getting it out. Also see if it the cooler or the lid. Wrap Saran wrap around the cooler to seal it and see if it stinks then.

Big bag of baking soda.
Put half in as a paste. Brush all over inside and sealing edges. Let it sit for a few days.
Wash out and dry completely. Put the remainder of the baking soda in dry again everywhere. Let it sit for a week.
If that doesn’t work you have a crack somewhere and the smell is coming from between the inside and outside layers of the cooler.

You can try some odoban if you get bored. I've used it on mold smells, pet smells when other things wouldn't work. I think I bought a 5 gallon bucket of it to spray the downstairs with.. Odoban
