How to Get Gasoline Out of Clothing Before Washing

If you've ever accidentally spilled gasoline, you know that its smell is pungent. Washing clothes that have come into contact with gasoline as you normally would may not completely get the odor out. Remove as much gasoline residue and smell as possible from clothing prior to washing it in order to achieve the best results. Vinegar is a natural cleaner and deodorizer that will neutralize the gasoline odor.
