I recommend just a few tablespoons full of bleach at a time. This should help! http://www.epa.gov/ogwdw/faq/emerg.html @George,

We have 2 connected so have 130 gallons after a good rain and use it for watering our plants. This spring, I noticed a stale smell in the water. Is there something natural that we can add to the rain barrels to sweeten the water without hurting the plants? They are never really empty anytime during the year so we don't ever rinse them out.
