Smells in the ToyHauler garage

I have a 2018 Fuel 335 kith a 13ft garage. Recently I hauled my Polaris ranger with a leaking gas tank. The gas dripped on the rubber floor on approx 3x3ft area. As soon as I got home I saw the gas, poured dry sweep on the area, swept it up, then put Dawn soap and water on the entire floor. I opened the windows, doors and aired it out for 2 days. I can't get rid of the gas smell. Any ideas on getting rid of the smell?

Gas smells are some of the hardest to get rid of period interested in following what others have to say. Good luck I wish I could be more help.

Only remedies other than replacing saturated surfaces that I'm aware of are ozone generator, carbon pellets or crushed carbon, open unit and run fans (slowest method). I'm guessing more knowledgeable people will chime in.

Coffee grounds work for stinking refers, might help for your gas issue. Even if it doesn't no harm on foul.

According to Siri, and Bob Villa, maybe,... Baking Soda, white vinegar, and water in equal parts, with a scrub brush?

Good Luck!

I appreciate everyone's ideas and suggestions. After a week with dawn soap scrubbed into the floor and airing out, the gas smell is gone. I'm happy now.

Open a bag of charcoal & dump into a large disposable aluminum baking pan & sit in the garage.
