Like you mentioned Spark, I think it would be a terrible job if you had to do much actual scrubbing without cutting the tote open. I am not sure yet if I want to cut the top off, or just leave it as is. As pointed out, the alcohol should be easily dissolved with water so that will let me have some options.

Perhaps if one had pickles stored in it, you would be able to by-pass making tartar sauce for fish sandwiches. Fish would be pre -pickled. Just add mayo and your ready to go.....
