2. Cleaning Hard Liner: The removable hard plastic liner can be washed with warm water and mild soap, or placed on the top rack of a dishwasher if suitable (check product markings).
3. Cleaning Exterior: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the TPE coating.
4. Drying: Ensure all parts of the cooler are completely dry before reassembling and storing to prevent mold and mildew growth.
