Gasoline Odors on Hands

removing gasoline odors By mixedblessing (1) Contact As weird as it sounds, getting out our good stainless serving spoons and ladle and rubbing them on the gasoline affected skin under water really does work. The smell transfers to the stainless then washes away. It doesn't get all of it but it gets most. Rinsed with 70% isopropyl and went back to rubbing the skin with stainless in an epsom salt and tea tree oil bath. Even works on the scalp which was worrisome.

Then I tried the stainless steel spoon because I've also seen those steel bars of "soap", and it actually reduced the smell noticeably. Then let my hands dry out in front of a heater fan (~10 min), which let the rest of the gas odor evaporate. If that didn't work, I would've tried the peanut butter suggestion.

After trying dish washing soap to no avail, the stainless steel spoon combined with some soap under running water took every trace of smell away! Thanks for the suggestion!

Isopropyl rubbing alcohol was very effective. Hooray for science! Posted on 12/18/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Gasoline Odors on Hands By Ed (Guest Post) Coffee worked for me. Much better! Posted on 12/06/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Gasoline Odors on Hands By sarah (Guest Post) Thank you so much for the tip about using oil. I ran out of gas on my way to work this morning and had to put some gas in using a gas can. I had never used a gas can before and I made a complete mess. By the time I was done my hands reeked of gasoline! Dish soap and antibacterial hand soap didn't get rid of the gas smell. I looked on here then found some peppermint foot scrub made of olive oil, peppermint essential oil, borax, and some exfoliants. I've had the foot scrub for years but this was the first time I've ever used it. It worked perfectly. Thanks again! I couldn't bear the thought of coming to work smelling like gasoline.

My stupid dad, of course, spilled gas on my hands, so i tried everything to get it off. I tried everything on this list the one that worked the best was the coffee one, but i found two other ones that got rid of the odor completely -Green Tea (Rub it all over your hands) -Peanut Butter (Just rub it on your hands and when you rinse it off, off comes the smell) Posted on 09/06/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Gasoline Odors on Hands By (Guest Post) I was helping fill a car gas tank with a funnel and got gas all over my right hand. To get rid of the smell: I first tried washing over and over again. Then second I tried hand sanitizer. Third I tried an aroma thearpy sugar scrub. Fourth, I tried straight up aroma thearpy oil for the bath. Fifth, I tried washing my hands in lemon juice/lime juice and dawn dish soap. Sixth, I soaked my hand in coffee, and finally seventh, I rubbed my hand with a stainless steel serving spoon....And my hand still smells of gas, a little less, but still smells.

I washed my hands for a few minutes with soap and water and repeated like three times. There still was some gas residue, so I used some hand sanitizer and the smell is gone.

Wash throroughly with soap and water. Works great, and you don't smell the gasoline anymore, nor the clorox!

I washed my hands with SEVERAL diffrent soaps, and then read up on the oil-based product. I used a vanilla scented bath/massage oil and rubbed it into my hands. After that, I used dollar store anti-bacterial soap and it worked! I didn't even smell the soap!

Posted on 12/14/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Gasoline Odors on Hands By Austinite (Guest Post) I tried the rubbing alcohol + scented soap method, which worked well, but I had to do it twice and it still left a minor minor residue. Rubbing aroma therapy oil on my hands finally got rid of the nasty gasoline smell... thanks everyone for your ideas!

Some stores sell little round stainless steel discs to get rid of odor on your hands. My first thought was "yah right" So I experimented with a stainless steel spoon. It works great!. Just rub it all over your hands under running water. Of course there is noproblem if you want to use soap at the same time too. And everyone has stainless steel cutlery. A spoon I thought was the easiest to hold. And is clearly a multi tasker in the kitchen.

After that I put some toothpaste, and then after that I put some rubbing alcohol. Once dry, I put some moisturizer and then left my hands alone for about 20 minutes. The odor is mostly gone now. Posted on 07/10/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Gasoline Odors on Hands By Christine In Denver (Guest Post) My friend Seth just changed a gasoline line and gasoline spilled all over his arm and side. After a shower alone did not work to rid of the odor on his skin, he applied an essential oil and the gas smell is gone. It isn't designed to be used necessarily as a topical oil (for on top of the skin), rather it is more of an aromatherapy oil, so some people might have a reaction, he says. But it worked well for him. The brand is Young Living, the type is Purification and it is made from basically lemongrass and chamomile. A small bottle costs $15-$35 for 15 mL. FYI Neither I nor my friend work for the company but they are a pyramid based business. Good luck!

Use rubbing alcohol; if you don't have rubbing alcohol, sacrifice vodka or similar distilled ethanol. Pour a little alcohol into your hand, add a bunch of scented liquid soap and rub, keep adding soap (it will not lather). After you have scrubbed your hands for a minute or so with this mixture, rinse with warm water, then use soap and water again.

Posted on 03/05/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Gasoline Odors on Hands By Frank (Guest Post) I tried several of the suggestions and found none to work so I tried cold coffee and it worked on the gasoline oder. I got the idea because when you smell different perfumes they give you coffee to smell in between the samples and it clears the smells from your nose. Before I tried the coffee I tried lemon juice, vinegar, baking soda, toothpaste, soap and water. Your Welcome . ..

Contact Try putting baking soda in your hair in the places where the gas hit, rub it in real good and brush it out. It will help absorb the odor. Other than that, just washing it. Sooner or later, it won't smell like gasoline anymore.
