If you want to be more prepared than I was, whether you've had a gasoline spill at home, in your car, or elsewhere, read on to find out how to get rid of gasoline smell from your belongings.
Safety is always first! Rhonda Wilson, quality lead cleaner at FreshSpace Cleaning, says to forget about the spill itself until you've made sure your area is properly ventilated.
Take whatever you spilled on outside, if possible. Let the item(s) air out in a shaded, well-ventilated area (this can take a few days).
If you've spilled on a hard surface, clean up the space with a mixture of warm water and dish soap. Then, go over the same spot with vinegar or baking soda to neutralize the smell.
