It’s a beautiful sunny day. You’ve just unpacked the car, the kids are all excited and you open the doors to your cabin cruiser and are overwhelmed by the stench. The smell in the cabin is more than anyone can stand. The afternoon cruise has to be cancelled and everyone is upset. Someone used an ineffective product.

Could this have been averted? Of course it could. There are many products on the market that would have effective in this situation but the big question is: are they safe? Are they green?

There is clearly a “green revolution” going on in the world. Everyone is trying to do their part to save the environment. This is definitely true among the boating crowd. It is imperative to the future of the waterways that we use products that are eco-friendly. No one wants to sail in polluted waters.

With eco-friendly “Green” EPA approved products you can clean and disinfect, deodorize and kill mold and mildew with just one product. Safe enough to drink but strong enough to kill 99.9% of all bacteria. If these products are accidentally spilled into the water they will do no harm to the eco-system.

You can safely protect yourself, your family, and your boat from mold and mildew using a Green product. What boat doesn’t have some mold or mildew issues?

Cooking odors are another concern while on board. Using an everyday airfreshener just adds harmful VOC’s to the air. In a small cabin this could be very dangerous to you or your family. A Green odor eliminator is odorless, and will not give off any harmful VOC’s as it contains no harmful chemicals.

Situations like the one at the beginning of the artice can be prevented with the proper preperation. Its a matter of having something available before you need it. But be selective when choosing that product. You want a Green product that gives off no harmful VOC’s and contains no toxic chemicals. Look at te label for ingrediants and product warnings. Remember, most products that have a scent contain harmful chemicals. Green products are safe, and in most cases odorless. Remember, “Clean has no Odor
