Brute trashcan smell

[ReefAddict]

So I've been using a Rubbermaid Brute trashcan to hold my RODI water for a while now and mixed in salt in a separate container. I got lazy and started mixing my IO salt in the same trashcan once the water is full. After a few weeks of doing this there is a noticeable smell when I remove the lid. Is this normal? It smells almost moldy.

Run your finger along the sides of the trash can. Is there any slime/sludge? What's the tds of ro/di water in the trash can?

Trash can is clean I wipe it down and rinse it after ever batch. No Tds reading. Filters for RODI are new.

I placed mine in full sun for a couple of days.

Rinsed and wiped to get rid of any dust/pollen and it no longer has an odor.

Rub it down using a damp sponge (like a Dobie scrubbing pad) and baking soda as an abrasive cleaner. Then give it a good rinse. Outdoors, of course. Clean the inside of the lid, too.

that bio-slime is my secret for amazing results.
