you&#8217;ve all the equipment near you. You should wear a face mask to protect both your mouth and nose from the gas fumes. Park your car in an open and well-ventilated area, like a driveway or on your street, and then start cleaning the spill.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Step 1\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">After locating the gasoline spill, use old rags and press them against the spot to soak up the gasoline. If you don&#8217;t have rags, use paper towels or even newspapers for this process. If it&#8217;s an old spill, you can locate the source by smelling it, or you can use your hands to feel for the wet spot \u2013 make sure you wash your hands after it.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Step 2\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Spray some water on the area to dampen it. Water and gasoline don&#8217;t mix well. Therefore, the water will help loosen the gasoline molecules. Next, apply a thin layer of salt, cornmeal, or kitty litter over the stain. Allow it to sit for 30 minutes, and then wipe it off thoroughly.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Step 3\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Now clean the gas stain using a cleaning solution. Use a carpet shampoo, mix it with adequate water, and apply it to the stain. You can even use your household items to clean the stain. Mix equal amounts of baking soda, vinegar, and dishwashing solution to make a household cleaning product. Next, pour the cleaning solution onto the spill and then scrub it thoroughly using a nylon brush. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Step 4\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">After scrubbing out the stains, dab them with clean and unused rags. Open the door and allow the trunk to air dry. If you want to speed up the drying process, use a fan or park the car so that sunlight enters the trunk. Check if the stain is removed. If not, continue the cleaning and drying process.\u00a0 <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_5\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Step 5\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Now, it&#8217;s time to get rid of the gas smell. You can use a commercial car air freshener or household remedies to eliminate the odor. For example, baking soda is an excellent odor remover; it can effectively remove the gasoline smell in your car. Sprinkle some baking soda in your trunk, allow it to sit for a few hours, and finally vacuum it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Some car owners use coffee grounds. However, instead of a few hours, allow it to stay for a week before you vacuum it. You can find other DIY methods by searching &#8216;how to get rid of gas smell in a car&#8217; on the internet and pick a technique that suits you. After trying all the methods, we recommend replacing your trunk&#8217;s carpeting if your car still smells like gasoline.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for ways to clean a gas spill in a car trunk?
