Gasoline Smell in Washing Machine

How do you get gasoline smell out of a washing machine? I've tried vinegar but my clothes still smell like gasoline.

You can try to run a few empty cycles through it, with your soap and a little vinegar or baking soda. Don't put any clothes in and see if that helps. You might have to do it several times. And leave the door opened when you aren't using it. While it is open, place a small bowl with baking soda or vinegar in it to help absorb the oder too.

And remember to never wash things that are flammable because placing them in your dryer could cause a fire. (04/27/2006)
