How do you clean your RO/DI container?

I just got a trash can and am starting to keep my RO/DI water in it. What method if any do you guys use to clean it out before you start filling it up? I used RO water with vinegar and I am reading 4 TDS so far. It is 0 TDS from my unit. Your input is greatly appreciated.

If its new you shouldnt have to clean it, just rinse it out with fresh water

Yes clean it as you have done and maybe with a weak bleach solution. When plastics are molded there are release oils so they do not stick to the molds and you need to get this off the plastic.
