Just filled up the tractor/snow blower with gas and spilled it all over my leather gloves and hands. I've washed my hands three times with soapy water and can still smell gas.

What product works well?

Use lemon juice or orange juice. Washing your hands with shampoo works too in a pinch.

Turpentine takes off most things. Try that.

Wash thouroughly with Dawn and something scented, like that orange degreaser soap. Then wait 24hrs, because only time can truely get that out.

Really, you dont. Scrub the hell out of it with some Lava and be done with it

+1 lemon juice. The smell is almost completely gone.

Let it wear off. It'll be gone by the end of the day, candyass.

Shampoo does work for me. Many times it has worked.

Stick your hands in a big pile of wet dog crap. That kills the gasoline smell very well.

Then it begs the question: how do you remove the smell of dog crap from your hands? . . . . gas?
