Step 3
Spray the spot down with Pinsol, briskly brush it deep into the fibers to break up the petroleum. Let it set for an hour and blot dry it with a towel. Repeat as often as necessary.

on 1/29/2009 Gas station. Pump gas. Don't realize you stepped in spilled gas. Get back in car. Drive with feet on (carpeted) floor mat on (carpeted) floor. Not really hard to imagine. Happens all the time. Very good ideas. Thank you.
