Removing Diesel Fuel Smell From Hands and Clothing

RE: Removing Diesel Fuel Smell From Hands and Clothing By maria (Guest Post) How much baking soda and vinegar do you use? Posted on 02/26/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Diesel Fuel Smell From Hands and Clothing By Ellen (guest) (Guest Post) Try soaking the clothes in a tub of warm water or washer after agitating a few minutes with 1 cup of TIDE or degreaser like Dawn dish soap for 2 hours(this breaks down oils in fuel) drain this water off then rinse then refill tub or washer with warm clean water and a 2 liter bottle of Coke and a whole box of baking soda agitate it around to mix it up with the clothes . Let this soak for 12-24 hours. Wash like normal. There is not even a faint fuel smell left.This could get expensive if you do this each load for some one who works and gets full of fuel/gas all the time though.

I was nervous about putting Fast Orange with the laundry, but I tried everything else above: soaking overnight in extra detergent, adding lots of vinegar to the wash, and nothing even faded the smell. I poured probably 1 cup of the Fast Orange (Smooth, with no pumice) with no other detergent into the cycle, and though the clothes smell strongly of orange, they no longer smell like diesel. This load was a mix of cotton & synthetic fabrics (wool socks, nylon/spandex underwear, cotton tshirts, cotton twill shorts) and it didn't discolor or fade any of the fabrics. I am so glad I found this suggestion! Thanks so much.

Does anyone know if this is safe for the skin? Also is fast orange irritating to the skin? My sons works on an oil rig and his feet, hands and fore arms are raw from the diesel fuel and oil he works in.

NO MORE DIESEL SMELL! Hope this helps someone else out. geez I hate that smell.

Posted on 02/21/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Removing Diesel Fuel Smell From Hands and Clothing By Cherie (Guest Post) Years ago I used to use something that smelled like bubble gum to remove diesel fuel smell from clothing. I have not used it in years and can not remember the name of it. Nor can I find anything in the stores to remove fuel smells. Can anyone remember anything like this?

It smells too, but cleans fast and dries fast and leaves no residue on your machine that could transfer to your other clothes. The only thing worse than stinky clothes from diesel is having all of your laundry smelling like deisel. My husband does that part for me b/c I can not handle the smell.

The smell is gone for the most part. We're satisfied with it!

He has a hand cleaner called Fast Orange. We got it at Wal-mart, they also carry it at auto parts stores. I put a little of that on his clothes and wash as usual. It gets the smell and the greasy feel out of the clothes. I would think it would work just as well for your hands. Good Luck! Posted on 10/04/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse
