Empty it , bleach it , rinse it , cover it with something that does not let light through , just about all you can do !
I'm so lazy I'm getting tired of it !

Someone painted theirs with black paint leaving a narrow stripe so they could see the level in the tank without having to unscrew the lid every time.

Was it Shrek and was the stripe horizontal? 😂

Before I put my IBC in a shed I put 2" insulation round it and over it and gaffer taped it.

Love the old gaffer tape!.
It's a game of three halves!
