I helped my roommate put some gas in her car early this morning, and I got a little bit on my gloves.
I tossed them in the washing machine, along with a few pieces of clothing that I had in the hamper. I've run it through 3 cycles so far, and I can still smell the gas. Even worse, the smell has transferred to the clothing, and I can't get it out. Even the machine still smells like gasoline.
I'm using Arm & Hammer fragrance-free detergent. First two cycles were in cold water. Then I let it sit all day in hot water while I went to work. Now, its going through cycle #4 in hot water, with detergent and baking soda.
I doubt I spilled even a teaspoonful, about 5ml, on the gloves. But that smell won't go away.
What am I doing wrong? Anybody have any tricks or hints or special products that will erase this odor?
