If you got a boat on your own and have not used it for several days or months, surely you get that odor which is a mixture of almost everything inside. You got that very bad odor from the head, chemicals from the engine, tobacco odors from your last boat smoke, and so many more. If you have plans to bring some of your friends, might as well clean it the day before they arrive.

Among all the bad odors mentioned and unmentioned, one thing that produces the majority of the smell comes from your bilge. But there are already so many marine head odor control sold in the market and it can truly help you in getting rid of that smell you got on your boat.

Your bilge pump should be checked regularly. If possible lift the thing out from its place to really assure if it engages. Get and use your oil catch tray or absorbent pads, if do not have any tray, so you could check any oil leaks.

Use a detergent that is phosphate free in cleaning your bilge. You can even start your vessel and sail for a while so the water slosh will help you clean the bottom of the bilge. If you are done, do not pump the water out because it could destroy your pump. Thus, use a separate water vacuum to finish the process.

When you are finish cleaning, buy odor controls from the market. Several very good and reliable air purifier brands are out in the market. Other manufacturers already gave tons of products that have truly helped the marine industry. Others are very much lucky with their advertisement and have been featured in several magazines.
