Hi Alice
I'm moving this to Lace as it *is* relevant as some of your lace got
contaminated, and you are more likely to get answers.
Fortunately it's not a problem I've had to deal with, but I have a
question for you - by 'gas' do you mean petrol or diesel? Petrol is
what most cars used until quite recently, diesel is what trucks and
lorries use.
Petrol is much more flamable, but very volatile and I would have
thought that a few days in fresh air would solve the problem. In
road traffic accidents petrol spillage is a fire hazard. Diesel is
oiler and I guess would be much more difficult to deal with. A
diesel spillage makes the road very slippery and needs sand applied to
it to stop other vehicles from skidding.

I'm very annoyed at my DH. He put a gas can in my car trunk, with
my lace stuff. It tipped over and spilled on my lace display board,
as well as on the carpet of my new car.
The display board is ruined...soaked. I pulled the lace pieces off
if immediately, but about 1/3 of them smelled. I did some quick
research on the web, and currently have the pieces soaking in water
with white vinegar.
The top carpet piece from my car trunk can't be cleaned that way (I
pulled it out)....and I'm trying to figure out what to do with it.
I have baking soda spread out on paper in my car (trunk and back
seat) to try to get rid of the smell left in the car. There must
have been a bit that went all the way to the carpet that is glued to
the sides/bottom of the trunk.
Any suggestions? Anyone else dealt with this problem?
