Gasoline Smell in Washing Machine

Clothes in the dryer after gasoline has been removed Post By judy lowe (Guest Post) (01/03/2008) Is it safe to put clothes in the dryer after they have been washed to remove gasoline? RE: Gasoline Smell in Washing Machine Post by caddie (2) | (07/31/2007) Contact I would run the machine cycle using bleach ONLY to thoroughly clean the machine. Then leave door ajar between washers as highly recommended for front loading washers.

I'm not promising this will help but maybe putting in the washer filled with water, some FLEX CREAM RINSE ( mix with some warm water) might help with the gasoline smell. I use it for rinsing my nylons and also the dog. He smells good for days.lol RE: Gasoline Smell in Washing Machine Post by tah_dah (13) | (07/26/2007) Contact Try running a load through with a good amount of Simple Green - that stuff does wonders on the smells left from my hubby's work clothes.

Carlie from Washington, DC Answers: RE: Gasoline Smell in Washing Machine 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) By katieandjeffy
