Does anyone know the brest way to remove the smell from gas spilled on interior carpet? I didnt know if there is a commercial product available or whether a home brew works best. It is for a friend who had a gas can fall over inside his jeep and it saturated the carpet. Thanks for any suggestions.

Couldnt hurt to try Febreeze's auto product. Did wonder on dog smell in my last car with cloth seats!

 

febreeze won't work...it will only cover it....steam and shampoo the carpet...you need to get it out of the fibers

 

Thanks for the help. I know Fabreeze is only a mask and I agree that steam cleaning and shampooing is the probable solution. Sorry for spelling best "brest" but it is 70 outside today and I was driving with the top down and passed by (very slowly) some gorgeous female joggers who unfortunately didnt have their tops down.

 

The "Brest" way to remove the gas smell is have the carpets dry cleaned. Then you get a more chemically smell instead of gas.

 

are you telling me that the febreeze commercial are all lies?
i could swear they say it doesn't cover the smell, but it gets rid of it.

 

You might try some good old Arm & Hammer baking soda. It's very good at absorbing moisture and odor. Cover the area with it, let it sit a day or so and then vacuum it out. It's worth a try and won't cost much. Kitty litter might also work to absorb the problem. I wouldn't smoke in your car for a while.

 

I've had great luck with Febreeze! Spray it on the affected area (dead mouse not gas) and when the Febreeze finally stops smelling like Febreeze I do not smell the other odor (dead mouse).
