Diesel fuel smell clean up in garage

Bobby DiDomenico · 04-01-2019, 04:01 PM

Got a call from a friend, they said someone over spilled a very small bit of diesel, they cleaned it up but can't get rid of the smell. Any suggestions?

Get you a big can of coffee and sprinkle it around on the floor. Let it set for awhile (or over night) and sweep it up.

Worked well when I drove semi and hauled a load of laundry detergent and then had to go pick up a load of meat. (Trailer smelled like cheer). Sprinkled it inside the trailer, shut the doors and when I got to my destination to load the smell was gone.

Bobby,
Did the coffee get the job done for your buddy?
