How to Get Rid of Gas Odor in Carpet

From What I've heard this is how you remove gasoline odor from carpet.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Potatoes
• Plain White Vinegar
• Warm Water
• Lots of towels
• heavy weights
• baking soda

1. Try just plain sliced potatoes. I have heard it does work, but have never tried it myself. Just slice them up and place them on the area over night.

2. If the potatoes don't work, there is one other method I know of. Gas is a petroleum product and is not really cleanable with water based cleaners. Therefore, I would suggest using a mixture of 1-2 cups plain white vinegar mixed in 1 gallon warm as you can stand water, use towels and weight such as bricks or dumbbells to wick the petroleum and water mixture out of the carpet.

3. Follow that with a rinse of warm water mixed with baking soda (1 1/2 cups per gallon.) Wick out all the moisture you can get out of it using the weights. When finished use something hot such as a hair dryer on low to prevent mildew from setting in.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't soak the area so much that you can't get all of it up.
