What he said

A nice hot day and open windows is about all you can do. I used some febreeze to get an oil smell out once.
 
The same thing happened to me a couple of years ago. Fabreez helped a lot, but it still took a couple or three weeks for most of the stink to dissipate.
 
I read about this trick in Men's Health Mag of all places.
If you get gas on your hands/skin, wash them with the blue auto window cleaner solution to get rid of the smell.
Maybe this would work for cloth/carpet too?
 
steam/shampoo carpet cleaner will do it if you're willing to pay lie 30 dollars to rent one
