Rim cleaner spill

I spilled rim cleaner chemical on garage floor (bottle fell and busted with the cold) and now my whole house stinks. It’s -18 here. Help

Re: Rim cleaner spill

Is it an acid wheel cleaner? If so, air out that garage/house.
Get some baking soda and a little water on the spill to neutralize the acid so it doesn't eat the floor.

Re: Rim cleaner spill

Since you are already on line, contact the manufacturer of the product and obtain an MSDS sheet. Spill containment procedures are part of that document.
