No matter how careful you are when filling up your vehicle, it is likely you will eventually end up with gasoline in your car's carpet. Even a small amount of gas creates a powerful and overwhelming odor, making it difficult to focus on your driving. If you want to remove the smell of gas, you will need to get your carpet cleaned up. While professional cleaning services are equipped for just such a task, usually resolve the problem with a home remedy.
Create a simple mixture of dishwashing soap and water and pour it into an empty spray bottle. A few drops of soap should be enough.
Spray the mixture over the affected area and give it a few seconds to soak in.
Scrub the carpet with a cleaning brush until you are confident the gas is gone.
Allow your carpet to dry. If possible, leave the windows of your vehicle open to give the fumes a place to go.
