De-Skunking
The following information comes from the AAAnimal Control website:
How to get rid of skunk spray odor smell.
These tactics WILL NOT work very well:
-
Bath in tomato juice
-
Spray with lemon or orange citrus
-
Masking agents like perfume or Febreze
Here is the secret recipe that WORKS. Mix the following:
-
1 quart 3 percent hydrogen peroxide
-
1/4 cup baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
-
1 teaspoon liquid soap or dish detergent
-
Mix these together and bathe ("shampoo" in or rub down) the spray victim thoroughly.
-
Be sure to use this mixture immediately after it is created, as it is unstable.
-
Rinse with tap water afterward, and repeat if necessary.
-
For spray in the eyes, flush with water as soon as possible.
