If you or your pet has been sprayed by a skunk, the first thing you need to do is ventilate the area. Open all the doors and windows in your house and turn on any fans that you have. If it is cold outside, you may want to consider running a space heater as well. You will also want to wash any clothing or bedding that may have been affected as soon as possible.
To actually remove the skunk smell, there are a few different methods you can try. One popular method is to mix together one quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide, ¼ cup of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of dish soap. Rub this mixture into your skin or your pet’s fur, being careful not to get it in their eyes, nose, or mouth. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.
Another option is to make a paste out of baking soda and vinegar. Rub this onto your skin or your pet’s fur and let it sit for 15-20 minutes before washing it off with warm water.
If neither of these options seem to be working, you can always call a professional skunk odor removal service. They will likely use a combination of these methods, as well as some other specialized techniques, to get rid of the skunk smell completely!
