Gasoline, white or otherwise was, and is, dangerous as a cleaning agent. My father's first wife died, and her mother was badly injured, due to an explosion and fire in their home that resulted from them using gas for cleaning something.
Yep, I knew it was unsafe even then but you use what you can afford. Being young, indestructible and knowing it all probably had something to do with it too.
