I'd suggest taking that one down and donating it and with the tax deduction and the money you'll save on various cleaning materials put a couple of extra gallons of gas in the truck.
Then, on garbage day in your area, load up early and use the gas to go for a ride. Figure the time is the time saved in trying to clean it. And what you're looking for is a new cooler.
Bonus is that if you're likely to see a few other things along the way that you "need"........
And....what CAD said. Even the little screw holes that holds the plastic strap keeping the lid from flopping back can let in that critical drop of permanent stink.

Back in the day when my family still had the funeral home, we would throw a couple bags of lime on severely decomposing bodies before putting them in a sealed container. It may work on your cooler but who knows? Non name brand roto molded coolers can be had for just the equivalent of a few cases of Early Times if you are willing to sacrifice.

Put it on the side of the road with a FREE sign on it.
There's a reason it was there in the first place.

Bud your time is worth something. You’ve probably spent enough working on it to have already replaced it. So “ you’re not winning”!😉
Spray paint the inside with a heavy duty coating and let it dry.
Maybe you could fill it with that new all over woman’s body deodorant that makes all the crevices tolerable.

Put some of Big Candy's soiled undies in there and close the lid for a week. Hope that helps.  |

As mapper mentioned, I would try some odoban. Let it soak for a while so it can get in any cracks, etc.
I got some coagulated alligator blood under the deck of my boat once after a hunt. I can guarantee you that your cooler doesn't smell as bad as my boat did... I tried everything and finally used some odoban and eventually got rid of the smell.

The cost of the cleaning materials mentioned are going to be close to the value of a cooler. Not a Yeti? Toss it out and go to WalMart |

Does it have a lifetime warranty?
Maybe send it in for a replacement?😄

Fill cooler with loosely balled up news paper, let sit for a day or two. Might take a few times, that has worked for me when nothing else would.

Where do you find a news paper? Around here you find a rack with the free U.F. Alligator and take all of them. At least that is what people do when they are moving and need newspaper to wrap stuff. It helps the Alligator with their circulation numbers and benefits everybody. Nobody really reads the dang thing. |

Now there's a Rocket Scientist reply... Don't think I've tried that after 2 years..? The lid is open at my shop right now. Thanks for the dumb ass suggestion... loser. Have you tried various angles of direct sunlight for days and weeks, on the inside parts that don't regularly see the light of day? |
