Hang your clothes outside to let the sunshine work on the gas smell.
Getting gasoline out of clothing can be difficult, but there are ways to make the task easier. Some people may find that what works for one person won't work for another, and others may have to try a combination of things to completely remove the gas from their clothes.
Instructions
1. Leave the garments outside in the sunshine before trying to launder them. Sunshine helps dry out the clothes, and air-drying your clothes outside can reduce or eliminate the smell of gasoline.
2. Add a cup of white or apple cider vinegar to your wash cycle and wash as you normally would.
3. Rub a mild dishwashing liquid into the affected areas, then run the items through the wash cycle.
4. Place the items in a bag, then sprinkle liberally with baking soda. Leave the items in the bag for a few days, then wash them. If needed, add baking soda to the wash cycle.
5. Soak items such as jeans or dark T-shirts in Coca-Cola for several hours before washing. This is not recommended for light-colored clothing and should be done only with original Coke, not flavored Coke, Diet Coke or other flavors.
6. Use a laundry degreaser or oxidizer as directed on the bottle.
