How to Get Rid of Gas Fumes in a Wood Floor
- 1). Open windows in the home to help ventilate the gas odors. Sprinkle powdered laundry detergent over the spilled gas. The detergent will absorb the gas and help remove odors.
- 2). Scoop the saturated detergent carefully off the wood floors with a plastic spatula and discard it in a trashcan. Keep scooping the detergent until you have removed all the spilled gas off the floor.
- 3). Add 1/4 cup of trisodium phosphate with 1 gallon of lukewarm water. Mix the TSP and water with a spoon. Moisten a lint-free cloth in the mixture and wipe the lingering gas off the floor with the cloth.
- 4). Rinse the cleaning solution off the floor with a clean lint-free cloth dampened with cool water. Wipe dry with a lint-free towel.
- 5). Dampen a sponge in white vinegar and wipe the wood floor. Let the vinegar dry on the wood floor to remove lingering gas odors.
