Getting battery acid out of stuff?

Question

Ok I had my battery changed and had it in the back seat in a bag on the floor getting ready to get rid of it. One day my brother needed a ride and he was in the back and I guess without me knowing he put the battery back in my hach back with my stuff. It was real got that day and when I got back acid got through everything, clothes, a good sleeping bag, my nice lap top bag etc. I had some on my sweatshirt and it started to go through my hood but only the first layer, is there anyway to help it? thanks!

Answer 1

it's gone. use baking soda to neutralize any remaining acid

Answer 2

Nope. It is done for. You can try some baking powder to neutralize the acid but I bet it is too late.

Answer 3

Considering it flat eats holes in everything,,,,I got some on my jeans once,,,,,,,,all I could advise, is water, water, water,,,,,

Answer 4

Baking soda will nuetralize the batter acid.  It may be to late

Answer 5

Sorry to say, but, it would be best to just get rid of the stuff to be on the safe side. You can try to neutralize the acid with a base like baking soda but its best to just get rid of the stuff.

Answer 6

the only thing you can use is bicarb soda about one large pack into 5gal bucket  warm water chuck about half onto back of vehicle and under hatch cover . lap top bag dip into bucket and soak. all the rest thro away as u will find every thing will fall apart when you wash them. i have had lots of clothes and overalls done in by battery acid

Answer 7

Just wear the damaged clothes... it's cool these days to look like a homeless r****d.

Other than that, get legal advice from a Mexican lawyer and consider suing your brother.

Answer 8

pour coke on everything... yes this is sticky but that is what the pros use... i grew up around them.. lol just pour the coke

scrub your cars floorboard with it.. then come back with a shampooer and shampoo it.. (better yet make him do it... hehehe)

do this with your clothes as well... pour coke in a bucket and them soak for a lil while... and then wash them in an heavy duty load...

hope this helps
