Home Improvement - CEMENT - REMOVING FUEL OIL ODORS

Removing Fuel Oil Odors
If even a small amount of fuel oil is spilled in a
home, the odor lingers. Some sprays or powders are
recommended to absorb this odor. Two brands (and there
may be more) are:

"Neu-troda" made by Tankit Co., Union, N. J.

"Odor-Neutralizer"

Contact a fuel oil dealer who may carry it or know
where to get such a product in your area. Some dealers
get it through their wholesaler.

If spilled on a cement floor, spread an absorbent
product like "Kitty Litter" or "All-Dri" 1 to 2 inches
deep on oil stain. Leave till oil soaks up to the top.
Sweep up, and put on thinner layer; leave a couple of
days and sweep up. This should blot oil out of cement.
If odor still remains, sprinkle an odor-removing powder
(brands suggested above or other) lightly over area and
leave 2-3 days before removing.
