How can I get gasoline smell off of skin?
Janis from N.E. Pennsylvania
or lemon juice...
i was told you could use dawn dishwasher soap. gasoline has that petroleum in it and dawn is grease remover
Vinegar and lemon juice on a burn will mess you up even more and cause more pain. The solution is lots of lukewarm to cool water on the skin in the shower and some of that "orange goo" you find in auto shops to take grease off the body, or just regular soap.
Remember, lots of cool water & treat it as you would any other burn.
Ok
Dawn does not work
I do not recommend. Leaves hands dry and smelling like vinegar/gas mix. Auto part store hand cleaner works best.
Stainless steel bar, they sellthem all over, sounds ridiculous buti t really works for your hands or skin

Make a paste of either Dawn or lemon juice and baking soda. Rub it well in our hands and fingers for about 2 minutes, then wash hands with soap and water and rinse.
