[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 191069, member: 1233"] I odn't htink the clothes will come clean. THe clothes that got gas on them occasionally when I worked at the gas station did not come clean. It is DANGEROUS to try to dry the clothes, even if you think all the gas is out of them. They can catch fire in the dryer. DON'T put the clothes in the dryer - at ALL. For concrete with gas spilled on it there is a product called Oil Dry (or there used to be) that looks like kitty litter. We would have to go and grind it into the concrete using our feet. I can't tell you how many nights I spent out at the pumps doing the twist to grind this stuff into the concrete and then sweeping it up. It DID get much of the spill out though. I am NOT sure it would help much with the car - though if you got the old-fashioned kitty litter and dumped it on the carpet then vacuumed it out with a car wash vacuum you might get some of the smell out. Dawn truly IS used for many grease/oil spills - including one when I was a kid where a tanker of cooking oil was in an accident. P&G sent a tanker with Dawn in to help clean it up (I know this because my uncle worked for P&G at the time). I still would not even try with the clothes. I know they were new, but they still were less expensive than replacing the dryer or the house. I am sorry your doctor is such a jerk. Call the insurance company - they WILL have a formulary they can send with your prescription benefits. ALL insurance companies have them. Here is a link to the ChampVA website. If you enter the beneficiary # (policy #) they will have some way to get the info - otherwise they will send it if you call. I hope she is OK. [/QUOTE]
