I was skeptical about using vinegar to clean my bilge but it actually worked
My bilge smelled like a dead fish for weeks after a fuel spill in Charleston last June. A friend at the marina told me to dump a gallon of white vinegar down there and let it sit for 24 hours. I thought he was nuts but I tried it anyway and the smell was gone the next day. Has anyone else had luck with weird household products for boat cleaning?
