Cleaning buckets pre season

[mapleman3]

I have aquired about 50 galvanized buckets... I want to clean them good and store them so they are ready for hanging at a moments notice :lol:
what is the best method to do this.....
thanks Jim

I've had good luck scrubbing them with a 20:1 water/bleach solution, rinsing them well, then stacking them in a pyramid until dry. Rinse them well, but if any bleach residue is left, it will boil off, unlike soap.
