Removing WD-40 Smell on Clothing?

I recently used WD40 to get crayon out of clothes. Now, all I smell on the clothes is WD40. How do I get the smell out of my clothes?

Let baking soda or cornstarch sit on the spot overnight. Then the next morning rub blue Dawn dish soap into the starch or soda. Let it sit an hour or two, rinse in cold water. Repeat until smell is gone, then wash as normal. If it is sunny outside, hang to dry between treatments.

I believe in the product Oxy-clean for those tough to clean and smelly pieces. Another option is this site www.hunker.com/.../wd-40-stain-removal

You can try to add a 1/2 cup of salt, 1/2 cup of baking soda, and a cup of vinegar to your machine. Add in your soap and wash on the longest cycle possible. Do a double rinse on the clothes.

Hang them outside in the sun to take out the rest of the order. This has worked well for me when my boyfriend gets gas on his clothes and the smell is left behind and won't come out.

I would try white vinegar and baking soda - those two things get rid of a lot of smells
