My boyfriend split gasoline in the trunk of his car and now the whole car reeks of gas. We have tried airing it out (which didn’t work) and sprayed everything down with Febreze (which also didn’t work). What can we do to get rid of the smell?

sade asked:
OKay, so I was at the gas station pumping gas into my car. I waited until the gas stopped pumping and heard the “click”. I then took out the nozzle and suddenly gasoline just spurted out all over me. I was soaked. Yeah that was no fun. So now I have the problem of trying to get my clothes clean… and the washer now that it smells like gasoline too. What do I do? HELP!

I have soaked them in hot water with detergent over and over but the gasoline smell is still there. Thank you.
throw $20 gloves in the trash? I don’t think so…I thought everyone was so concerned about the environment and conserving our resources and recycling????????

jeanne p asked:
I bought a set of weights (steel with a rubber rim) at a garage sale and didn’t realize until they were sitting inside my home that the rubber rims all have a very strong gasoline smell. I’ve tried soaking them in a Borax solution and setting them in a pan of dry baking soda. Nothing seems to help. I now have them sitting in the sun to see if that will help at all. Any suggestions or ideas would be much appreciated. I can’t use the weights or even have them in the house because the smell is so strong.

Elspeth asked:
Please only respond if you’ve had actual experience with this problem…plenty of people without experience have suggested vinegar or milk, but I have my doubts.

And, if possible, give the specific product name of whatever you used to get the gasoline out…or at least where you bought it.

I just bought a new pair of shoes from DSW, and they have a strong fuel smell. They are from China, so I assume the smell is from the contrainer they travelled across the ocean in. I work in an office and some of my cubicle neighbors are commenting on the smell. HELP!
