I've just liberated a blue barrel from a skip, so I don't know what the
barrel contained. I want to use the barrel either for water storage or
growing strawberries. Does anyone know what's good to use to de-contaminate
the inside of the barrel? Bleach? Armillatox? Jeyes? Fairy Liquid?

I generally use Jeyes. Takes a while for the smell to wear off but
works. You can get Jeyes especially for use in the garden now but I have
never tried that.
