Gas Smell in Car's Trunk

I spilled golf cart gasoline in the trunk of my car. I removed the mat and used baking soda but it still smells. I am now becoming sick from the fumes. Please help, what can I do to removes the gas from the back of my car?

There is a product called Odorzout that is granular that you sprinkle on and then let sit for a few weeks then vac out. it is worth the cost. But for a cheaper version you might want to first try kitty litter, the plain clay kind and work it in to the fibers really well. Let sit a week or so then vac.

Try placing a bar of soap in the trunk. I got egged once and a bar of soap (I used Ivory) elimated the odor over night. A kid at a used car lot told me about the soap. I keep a bar under my seat all the time now, keeps the car fresher then the freshners that have perfume. I've told friends and they've had success with a variety of odors. Good Luck

Just a quick idea, you could try putting some charcoal in the trunk and letting it sit for a few days. This was the only thing that worked for us when milk spilled and soured in our car. Good luck!

Sounds like it needs to be cleaned by a professional. Might cost a bit but it will be cheaper than a hospital bill!!
