Cleaning gasoline

Gasoline, also known as petroleum ether, is a highly flammable, colorless liquid composed primarily of aliphatic hydrocarbons. It is often used as a solvent, degreaser or cleaning agent. Gasoline dissolves fats, oils, some types of glue and paint, but is less aggressive than other solvents such as turpentine or thinner . This makes it suitable for cleaning delicate materials or surfaces that could be damaged by stronger chemicals.

Gasoline is also used in hobby applications, for removing stains from clothing (provided the material permits) and in some industrial processes. Because it evaporates quickly and leaves little residue, it is a useful agent for various cleaning tasks. Nevertheless, it is important to use gasoline in well-ventilated areas and avoid direct contact with the skin and inhalation of the vapors due to its potentially harmful effects on health.
