Removing Skunk Odors odors skunk
Removing Skunk Odors You will need to break down or dissolve the oil in skunk scent. Inside house: 1. wash affected wall, floor, etc. areas with water containing either chlorine bleach or vinegar (acetic acid) or2. Use a commercial odor-removing compound such as: 1) "Skunk-off" aerosol; get through Vet Clinic, or catalog of dog supplies through dog kennel or pet shop. 2) "Nil-Odor" made by Dow Chemical; follow directions and put couple drops in water, and put on furnace filter to circulate air through; can put on dogsas directed. 3) "Odor-Away" either liquid (use few drops) or aerosol.4) Rexall "C-D Deodorant" aerosol, can spray furnishings, drapes, etc. These odor-removers act to break down the oil and so remove the odor or neutralize it. 3. Spraying with aerosol or putting drops around willneutralize odor in air generally; may still smell forawhile as you put nose right down in drapes, carpets,etc. but will gradually dissipate.Outside house--on bare wood, concrete, soil: Get chlorinated lime water at drug store, or mix 1 cup agricultural lime in 1 gallon chlorine bleach and put onareas. BE VERY CAREFUL TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS - don't get on skin, clothing, etc as it will burn (is a caustic solution), and will also burn grass or other vegetation.On clothes--Launder in cool or barely lukewarm waterwith lots of heavy, built laundry detergent, plus a degreaser and some water conditioner (like Calgon) ifwater is hard. Don't use very warm or hot water as oil will be released in steam and odor will come up out of tub.
