Green Genie is a great boat cleaner. It’s non fuming formula quickly removes algae and softens barnacles and mussels so they can be easily scraped off This boat hull cleaner is environment safe and biodegradable You’ll love how easy it is to use. Spray it on with a garden sprayer. It penetrates and breaks the bond between the algae and the boat. Now all you have to do is rinse it off. Any remaining scuff marks or stains will come off with Boat Scrub. Look at the Difference. That was easy. Do you remember what this boat looked like before we used Green Genie boat hull cleaner.
There are several possible causes of a smelly head on a boat. The hardest part is to determine where the smells are coming from. After that it should be fairly easy to fix the problem. There are a few variables that you have not covered but we will try to deal with those as well.
The possible causes are: • Holding tank is full and needs to be pumped out • Blocked vent forcing the exhaust back into the boat • Sludge build up in the holding tank • Blockage in pump out hose • Defective or non-functioning macerator (optional on some boats) • Defective or non-functioning vacuum flush system (optional on some boats) • Damaged hoses usually caused by age or from using inferior holding tank chemicals or homemade concoctions or no chemicals at all, resulting in permeation odors. • Disconnected or leaking hose • Damaged or plugged Duckbill Valve • Damaged or plugged Flapper Valve • Salt water used for flushing
The Aurora Fall Lay-Up Cocktail should cure your problem. Because your tank, hoses and mechanical parts of your toilet have not been sanitized, bacteria remains in the system. When the warm weather returns, they reactivate and that’s what is causing the smell.
To make the cocktail, mix 8 oz. of Aurora Odor Free with about ½ gallon of plumbers antifreeze. After your final pump out, preferably while your boat is still in the water, pour about ½ into the toilet and flush it into the tank. Repeat the procedure. Do not use the head after this procedure.
This should be sufficient to coat the inside of the hose and contact parts in the toilet. The rocking of the boat during its last trip and haul out will slosh the mixture around in the tank and coat it. The mixture will neutralize the bacteria and cause it to be inactive until diluted with sufficient water or waste.
In the spring, recharge your head, following the directions on the bottle and the smell will no longer exist. Regular use of Aurora Odor Free will keep your head odor free and reduce the source of the problem.
Yes
Odor Free and Head Chem are the same product.Because of trademark difficulties in the US, we are gradually making the change to Odor Free. I know it will be confusing until the change over is complete.
Price is always a problem when you make a quality product. The better ingredients cost more and the better formulas require more ingredients.
The alternative is to cut quality and quantity and make a cheap product, but then it doesn’t work as well. As you obviously know from experience, the other products you tried are not as good, but they are cheaper. Head Chem / Odor Free has a reputation for being the best, most effective holding tank chemical in North America and possibly the World.
We have, however, heard from customers, that because of the tissue digesters built into Odor Free / Head Chem they can save enough money by using regular toilet tissue from home, instead of the expensive boat stuff, to pay for the Odor Free.
We are continuing to manufacture and market this product and eventually the name will be Odor Free in both Canada and the US. In the meantime, you can use either product with confidence.

I wanted to tell you what a great product you have.
I wanted to tell you what a great product you have. Since using Odor Free, I have saved enough money in toilet tissue to pay for it, so it’s free. My wife used to complain about the special boat toilet paper because it was hard and scratchy and her finger used to go through it. Now we just bring the luxury tissue from home. She’s happy and so am I. We both love the fresh smell. Thanks.

Happy Sailor
Since getting this boat and after tying everything I could not get rid of the odor in the head and sump. It was not a waste odor but it was a constant smell that no one could help with, also noticed when pumping out some residue stayed behind. I poured some of the Odor Free head cleaner in and flushed with water and then did its last pump out of the season. The odor was gone!! The dock master, without knowing I did anything special, asked me if the holding tank was new? He said he had never seen a tank that clean before on a used boat.

satisfaction
When I lived in the Toronto area, I used your Odor Free product with complete satisfaction for3 years. Now that I have been transferred to the West Coast, I have not been able to find it. I have tried 7 other products and nothing works as well. Where can I buy it in the Seattle area. I’ll drive to Vancouver if I have to.

The ODOR is Gone!!
The hoses on my boat were smelling and this smelled up the whole boat. Replacing them was going to be a major and expensive undertaking. After using your toilet chemical, Odor Free, for 3 weeks, the smell went away. You saved me a fortune and I’m not embarrassed when we have guests. Thank you. A happy sailor.

Odor Free is the best!
While away on a cruise last year I discovered I was almost out of Odor Free. Not one to panic I went in search of some at the marina. They had something ‘just as good’ a blue syrup that ended up staining the bowl but not preventing the odours from the holding tank. Fearing a mutiny, I went in search of my Odor Free. Luckily a chandlery had some. My boat is 40 years old and although I’ve only owned it 5 years I’ve always used Odor Free and never had a smell problem. I disposed of the blue stuff at the toxic waste site.

I love your products
Last year you convinced me to try Odor Free. Wow. No odors from the head for the first time. I struggle to keep the decks on my houseboat clean and I would like to get the shine back. After seeing your video I want to try Sure Step. If it works as well as your Odor Free, I’ll be a loyal customer for all of your products.

It is the BEST holding tank deodorant in the world!
I just ordered 2 bottles of Odor Free. I’ve been using this product for many years. It is the BEST holding tank deodorant in the world! It’s worth every penny – no pun intended. We’re on our way to a happy, Odor Free sailing season.
