How to Remove that Skunk Smell from your Home

How to Remove that Skunk Smell from your Home

Aerate Your Office or House: The initial measure includes opening all of the windows and turning on fans inside the home. Good ventilation helps in dissipating the odor from your home.

Hydrogen Peroxide Mix: You must prepare a solution of three parts hot water and one part vinegar. Utilize the solution to wash the floors and walls of the home. Or you might also attempt to make a solution of four parts water and two parts chlorine bleach in order to wash the floor.

Vinegar Magic: It’s possible to fill up a spray bottle using white vinegar then spray it around your home. It’ll assist you in removing the natural oil that was sprayed by the skunk, as well as decrease that stinky odor.

Change your Air Filter: You must change out your air filter within the air conditioner and furnace. The odor might become stuck inside the air conditioner or filter and keep on lingering around your home. Therefore, changing the filter reduces the circulation of the odor and removes skunk smell from your home.

Aiding Pets in Getting Rid of the Smell:  Most times, it’s the cat or dog that’s a victim of the skunk spraying. The pet will bring home the skunk smell along inside your home. You must use one quart 3 percent hydrogen peroxide, three-quarter cup baking soda and two tablespoons dishwashing detergent utilized for washing your dishes in the sink. Microwave them inside a large bowl then wash your pet with it as the ingredients still are foaming. The oxygen within the solution reacts with it and neutralizes the smell. It’s possible to use the solution for washing cats, dogs, and clothing sprayed by a skunk.
