How to Get Gasoline Out of Clothing

1. Work in a well-ventilated area. Gasoline fumes are flammable and can be harmful to inhale. Open windows or doors to allow fresh air to circulate.

2. Do not use a dryer or iron on gasoline-stained clothing. The heat from these appliances can cause the gasoline to ignite.

3. Treat the stain as soon as possible. The longer the gasoline sits on the clothing, the more difficult it will be to remove.

4. Blot up the spill with a clean cloth. Do not rub the spill, as this can spread the gasoline and make the stain larger.

5. Apply a degreaser to the stain. A degreaser can help to break down the gasoline and remove it from the clothing. You can use a commercial degreaser or make one by mixing equal parts baking soda and water.

6. Allow the degreaser to sit on the stain for several minutes. This will give the degreaser time to work.

7. Rinse the clothing with warm water. Rinse thoroughly to remove all of the degreaser.

8. Repeat steps 4-7 if necessary. You may need to repeat these steps several times to completely remove the gasoline stain.

9. Wash the clothing in hot water. This will help to remove any remaining gasoline and degreaser.

10. Dry the clothing on low heat. Avoid using high heat, as this could cause the gasoline fumes to ignite.

If you are unable to remove the gasoline stain yourself, you may need to take the clothing to a professional dry cleaner.
