T&T: Bilge cleaners

[Ken MTBDEMON]

There is a fogger available from PureAyre?? I haven't seen this. I have a GB 
36 1971 vintage and I can't seem to get that old boat/diesel smell from my 
boat and I'm thinking a bilge fogger may do the trick. Is this something you 
can buy from PureAyre?
For some reason I can't get on the PureArye site, but I'm sure its my 
connection at work. Point me in the right direction my Jedi boat master 
friends:)
