Smells in yacht

[Leighb]

Last year there was a thread about how to get rid of unpleasant odours. With the useless search engine I can't find it.

A forumite recommended a particular product intended to deal with pet odour which was said to be effective, can anyone point me to the original thread?

It was probably me that posted. The product is Simple Solutions Cat Urine Odor remover

eg here
http://www.petsdirect.com/epages/Store2_...cts/CH3290-0001

You can buy it in most pet supermarkets. You need to thoroughly soak the material and leave for a few days, but pretty effective.

when iwas moored in milford haven i had a unpleasant smell the chap that was moored next to me was a butcher he said that he used raw onions cut in half to get rid of bad odours it worked

If you really want to remove smells you have to remove the source of the smell, not mask it.

The Simple Solution stuff contains enzymes and bacteria that actually break down organic molecules, thus removing the smell source.

I second the onions.It sure works in fridges.

I've posted and keep in the forward bilge, a spray bottle with pet deorderisor in it. It works for me, if theres a bit of a pong, just spray it round. Not sure it works for all smells, but it does round the holding tank. See a pet shop.

Wssex Chemicals are the chaps:

They sell a product called odour eroder (lots of drop down menus on the site - marine interior cleaning is the one you want)

Worked a treat for me getting the stench of a dog out of the back of a carpeted Land Rover.

No links etc

Brendan, many thanks I just could not find your post, only one with no brand name given.

Agreed, but the odd smell has been there since we bought her, it is a bit diesel like, but may be old oil stains in bilge also? I just thought I would try something I had seen recommended here and hope it helps.

If its minging bilges that is the problem, use bilgex with hot water to scrub the bilges and let it slosh around for a while. It should get rid of the smell once and for all.
