Same thing happened to me last night. I'm concerend about the hazard and the smell. I used dish soap and scrubbed the floor with a broom. Still smells....I was considering using tomato juice concentrate. Our family dog was sprayed by a skunk and the vet recommended this to cut the smell. It worked, strangely enough. If you've recieved recommendations I'd love to hear back from you. My email address is jodilarge@marykay.com. Thanks!

I had the same thing happen last night. Poured kitty litter with baking soda in it and let it sit. That helped, but it is still pretty bad. What else can we do, the smell is bad coming into the house.

My leaf blower leaked gas in my trunk and the odor is now leaking into my car. Would also love to hear any suggestions as to how to remedy this. Thanks so much.

I work in the gasoline industry, so I know the answer to this. Use Febreze- something about this product removes the odor of gasoline.
