Have used citrus degreaser (ZEP orange) in a spray bottle for surface 
degreasing with good results.  Available at Home Depot.

Rob,

the absorbent pads can collect the fuel (and they don’t absorb water). I had 
very good results with these: 
http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/gas-guzzler-sweep-hydrocarbon-absorbing-pad-0381326p.html.
 They come in at least two sizes; the large (and thick) one and smaller (and 
more useful) (at the link).

If you are looking at eliminating the odours, then there is the Pure Ayre 
(http://www.pureayrecanada.com/products/marine/) product that does a decent job.

good luck

A few weeks ago, I spilled approx. a half a cup or 200 mls of diesel in
the engine compartment that made its way under the cabin floor boards to
the bilge.  I have flushed several times with Dawn liquid detergent and
hot water, however, there is still a trace of the diesel which I would
like to eliminate.

Every time a pump the bilge now, there is a hint of fuel in the
discharge which is annoying to all.

Is there a specific product anyone has used successfully to eliminate
the diesel that is more effective than liquid soap?
