Janet Pizaro on May 21, 2016Spray the box down with a mixture of bleach and water. Allow to sit on long enough to remove any mildew etc. Then rinse well and dry out.Helpful Reply

Carol Roddy on May 21, 2016Depending on how dirty it is, you may have to use a scrub brush and something like Mr. Clean and water and scrub it well. Rinse with a garden hose and let it dry in the sun. Then you can use something like minwax if you want to stain it a different or darker color. If it has some writing on you can go over that after with marker or paint and a brush. The above suggestion of bleach is good however it could bleach the color out of the wood and if you don't want that, you can use household cleaner like Mr. CleanHelpful Reply
