What do you use to remove odors from your boat?

See how to remove it. What kind of machine can be used to remove the odor? Air freshener, or some oxygen machine, ozone machine, etc.

I suggest going crazy with tea tree oil as it kills spores

I keep a portable air conditioner on my boat, set at about 85° or so. The idea is for it to come on and run a little once in a while, and keep the humidity under control, and help change out the air. I made a flange for the exhaust hose that fits in a porthole. My electric bill usually only runs about $40/month when I do that, less in winter, and it is a fairly big boat inside. I need a couple of sticks to reach up and open the skylight, and she is pretty fat, too, so lots of interior space to condition. I used to have problems with hatches and drawers sticking, but no more. And no nasty odors apart from a faint aroma of diesel fuel from the Westerbeast.
