Monthly - (salt mixing containers) - soak for a few hours with a 1/4 cup vinegar solution, (Top-off/RODI jugs) - soak with a 3tsp. household plain bleach solution for an hour, followed by a rinse with water + Prime/Alpha.

For RODI (no salt) containers, I just occasionally rinse them out with hot tap water, wipe them dry, let them sit dry for a bit, and then reuse them.  They seem to go for many months and stay clean as long as they are covered/closed.  While not an airtight seal, I do keep a cover on all my RODI and topoff containers.

I have a few 5g jugs that I use to hold fresh water and I've never cleaned them.  I mix my salt in a 5g bucket for water changes, I just throw them out when they get too dirty (calcium build up).

I dont clean mine ever. I tested the tds coming out of the 5g tote and was still 0 tds so I suspect theres mp issue ( even though they do have a bit of a moldy smell)
