I need an old 100# LP bottle for use in my shop. I took the valve off three

bodily harm if I make the house smell like that. Any good ideas to rid an
old bottle of propane smell? Don't say light a match.

To quote "Neutralize by adding household bleach (Clorox, Purex)
to the spill area."

Sounds like a quick rinse with dilute laundry bleach would help a
bunch. Don't think I'd try it at full strength though, since there might
be a reaction of some sort. Anyone know the chemistry?
