My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

cleaning a rain barrel

14 years ago

Hi all,

I just bought a 300 gallon tote that I plan on using as a rain barrel. The tote had contained brown mulch dye and hence the dye color inside it. Need advise on how to clean this huge tote before I started using it as a rain barrel.

Thanks
