Spilt petrol in car boot & now the whole car stinks. there is leather & carpet how 2 get rid of smell?

1.pour coffee grounds into several individual coffee filters and tie them closed. Place the coffee bags on whatever is harbouring the gas odour.





2.Sprinkle baking soda over the area and let it sit for a few hours. Then whip out your trusty vacuum cleaner to suck up the soda, finishing the job.





3. Leave a liberal amount of citrus peels in your car or trunk for several days (until the peels are completely desiccated). When you remove them, your odour should be gone or weakened substantially.





4. Vinegar. A bowl of white vinegar, left out overnight, can do a surprisingly good job removing gas odour.








5.Charcoal yes BBQ charcoal. There's nothing fancy or particularly aesthetically pleasing about charcoal in a bowl, but when you scatter some bowls of charcoal around your car (as long as you're not planning to drive), you'll find that it has absorbed the gas odour after about a week.





Try some of these remedies guaranteed..good luck

The car needs to aired out, so that the smell is REMOVED not just covered up by something else that smells better.





Open the car up and stick a fan in the boot for a day to remove the smell.





A good cleaning couldn't hurt either to remove the gas.
Reply:Gas fume are explosive. Let it air out before placing anything electrical in it. Then shampoo the carpet.
Reply:Sprinkle some bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) in the boot (trunk) and maybe leave some newspapers with charcoal on it for a couple days. On the weekend vaccum it good and give it a good airing. Should be fine. The worse thing you could do is counter act it with cologne. The leather I would get some leather cleaner for car leather (or carefully use saddle soap for a light wash with a damp cloth).
Reply:i would have the car professionally cleaned. gasoline doesn't come out if upholstery easily. good luck.
