[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 680857, member: 11791"] Can it be saved? Yes. As pigless says, though, you can't use the washing machine. What kind of fabric are we dealing with? As in, can this be washed in HOT water? Is it color-fast? You did well to soak it a bit - reduce some of the obvious excess. Now, let it line dry outside for at least 24 hours. If it is color-fast, try using dish soap on it, with just enough warm water to be workable. Then soak in the hottest water that the fabric can take. Gasoline has a "grease" component that dish soap handles. This may or may not take care of most of it. After half an hour or so, rinse it out and line dry. If stain or smell are still there, use a paste of baking soda. Work it in, let it dry, brush it off. Wash in machine, then line dry. If smell or stain are still there, repeat baking soda step. (multiple times if necessary) Do NOT dry in machine unless all stain and smell are gone. [/QUOTE]
