Having a fish box to hold & bleed out the catch helps. The top of fish box is like a cutting/fileting board. After done with the kokes I immediately put on ice. I have a wash down that does the final clean up. After a couple of days the lingering smell of success dissipates. Occasionally I will scrub it down with dawn. However another product I like is KABOOM, it does a good job cleaning without all that scrubbing and leaves a pleasant odor. That only works if you are using it on a fish box or livewell or vinyl floor.
