How do I remove Gasoline / Kerosene Spills on auto carpet and upholstery?

Gasoline / Kerosene Spills on auto carpet and upholstery

What has occurred is that the petroleum has gotten into the open cell urethane foam & carpet padding and is fermenting and out - gassing.

You must get enough Odor kill solution into the foam padding and carpet so that it can digest the residual organic petroleum molecules. Mix it 10 parts water and 1 part odor kill in a clean spray bottle. Generously spray and / or pour the solution on the upholstery and carpet so that it gets into it completely -- top, under / bottom. If possible, try to pull the carpet up so that you can get to the underside.

Saturate it heavily, place a wet towel, soaked in the Odorkill solution under the carpet spot, and lay the carpet back down on it. Leave it there for at least 8-12 hours.

Also put a damp towel soaked in the odor kill solution over the topside of the carpet area for 8-12 hours. Take it up and check for odor.

Reapply if necessary. You will need to perform this treatment 4-5 times, over about 4-5 days. It will get better each treatment, so, keep doing this until the mal odor and stains are gone.

The amount of time required to digest the petroleum will depend on the amount of petroleum that was spilled. The enzyme solution is working when it has moisture.

It stops working when it dries. Then let the area completely dry. You may have to use a fan to remove any moisture. If, it does not completely dry it will mildew will grow in the damp areas.

 (A new treatment of the solution of Odor Kill will also kill the mold and mildew.)
