Cleaning brutes for water storage

[Myka]

I use dish soap, just enough to get a little bit of bubbles to cut any greasy or oil residue that might be on it. Rinse out with super hot water. Add 1 gallon of hot tap water, 1 mL household bleach. Swish that around, let it sit for an hour swishing it around several times. Rinse well, let it dry thoroughly to let bleach off-gas.
