Consider removing the carpet to access the affected area properly. Consult a professional automotive cleaner or a trusted mechanic for guidance on how to remove the carpet and clean it effectively.
- Is it necessary to remove the trunk lining to clean the spill?In most cases, removing the trunk lining is not necessary to clean a gas spill. However, if the spill has seeped through the trunk lining or if there is significant saturation, it might be advisable to remove the lining for thorough cleaning and to prevent any residual odours. It is recommended to consult a professional automotive cleaner or refer to your car’s manual for guidance on removing the trunk lining.
