I freshwater rinse and drain the bilge after each use. Every few trips or every outing when I store fish inside I'll add soap or bleach to the wash. Deck gets a scrubbing every trip.

Lighting a match or one of those scented candles you're bound to receive as a Christmas present.

Same here, rinse the inside if water got in (not just a little water but enough to see a puddle), then let it air dry with the hatches open after every use.
I also add some bleach if necessary. Fill up with some water/bleach mixture, slosh it around, drain it, and let dry with open hatch, remove excess water with sponge or towel.

Pressure wash mine after each outing. Hang upside down with front hatch and rectangular hatch open.

if you made the mistake

of storing your yellowtail in the hull only to find out he crapped his shorts while rigor mortis set in, then for sure you will need to use a solution of water and bleach. be mindful of the rudder lines, if it is a Hobie. if your dilution is not overly powerful, you will be fine, even if the lines get wet. flood the whole yak with this concoction. it will remove even the worst of smells. if done with mild soap and water and given enough time, it will dissipate also.

I don't recall seeing anything that said, "don't crap in your kayak"

LOL. That's what makes Hobie's an excellent kayak for prolonged outings.....The mirage drive latrine. No seat required, remove the flippers and sit. Your weight lowers the opening to a convenient level for the ocean to do the cleaning for you.
