That's the question I've been "Googling" for the past 2 days because yes, I managed to spill a 1/2 gallon of gasoline in the passenger floorboard of my car on Saturday morning. I know...Why did I have a gas can in my front floorboard anyway? Because my sweet brother offered to mow my yard on Saturday, and I told him that I would make sure the lawnmower had gas first. Of course it was empty, so I took the only gas can I could find in the garage, and went to fill it up. Little did I realize (until it tipped over) that the cap was cracked. I can list all of the things that officially DO NOT get gasoline out of car carpet...no matter what Google tells me:
1. Baking soda
2. Coffee grounds
3. Febreeze
4. Shampooing the carpet and shopvac-ing it
5. Shampooing the carpet and shopvac-ing it again
6. Shampooing the carpet and shopvac-ing it one more time...
7. An excessive amount of perfume
8. Leaving all of the windows open for the smell to evaporate
9. Pet enzyme spray (this actually might've helped a little bit)
10. Vinegar
11. Setting a cake pan with vanilla extract in the flooorboard. (This one I'm still trying...and I'm hopeful!)
12. Prayer
I guess I'll do the only thing I can do, which is to take advantage of this "high" I'm on from all of the fumes. WOO HOO!!!!!! If anyone has any other ideas, I'll obviously try anything.

When you find a solution please share it with us. Keri had a gas can in the back of his car that spilled and after having it professionally cleaned and leaving the windows open for 3 weeks it still stinks!
awww that stinks!!! no pun intended! Hope you get it out!
I once spilled ham juice out of a pan in my passenger seat while on the way to a Thanksgiving party at work...my seat smelled like ham for about 2 years. Good luck!
I'm so sorry! Have you found anything that works? Does it smell?
Well said.
try dry laundry detergent
Wow, just did this yesterday with a 5 gallon can and about 2 gallons of gas spilled in the back of our custom Yukon XL. Did you ever find anything that worked?
Who cares what doesn't work!! What a waste of a click this was. I'll let you know when I find useful information and not some bored person dying for something to type about.

Gasoline stains are tough to clean, primarily because most cleaning materials does not have the chemicals that can help in evaporating such dirt. My wife and I also exhausted all possible options that friends suggested. It's a good thing that in Delaware County, commercial carpet cleaning is available. In most parts of the country and in Delaware County, carpet cleaners provide the best solution to various carpet stains and odors. They clean the carpets. Leaving them looking new.
If the last option that you've listed fails, I guess that's the best time to resort to professionals. Saves you time and effort. Thanks!
Thank You a ton for writing such a wonderful piece of information. Keep sharing such ideas in the future as well. This was actually what I was looking for, and I am glad to came here! Thanks for sharing the such information with us.
yes I am the dork who did the same thing. Spilled about a gallon of gas in the back of my suv. Did anybody find the solution?

However, if we make a decision to consume weight loss pills, it is always vital to understand how they work. It should be in you best interest to know what you are inserting in your body. Caffeine and Green TeaThe metabolism of body is given a boost by the intake of green tea and caffeine. It also acts as an appetite suppressant. The green tea is one of the best natural weight loss supplements available in the market. It should be consumed thrice a day. These doses of green tea supplements should be taken before every meal. This natural remedy can be highly effective if coupled with 30 minutes of exercise, thrice a week. The 30 minutes exercise need to be divided as follows 20 minutes cardio.

Data manipulation has become widespread in all fields, but it seems especially prevalent in health and fitness, because scientific claims are effective for promoting and selling products like exercise equipment, supplements, and diets programs. We gain weight naturally through the aging process as our metabolism slows down. Yet, this can be simply counteracted by strength training. Strength training is a great strategy to maintain your lean muscle tissue and to prevent yourself from getting osteoporosis.
