Skunk Smell Remover
Skunk Smell Remover that Works
Ingredients:
1 Qt Hydrogen peroxide (3%)
1/4 cup Baking soda
1 tsp Liquid dishwashing soap
Preparation:
Mix all ingredients together just before using because of the foaming reaction.
Apply the foaming mixture to the pet (or yourself) then rinse completely.
As always, everyday cautions should be used with any household chemicals.
This solution has no shelf life
What happens here is the oxygen molecules emitted by the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda reaction deactivate the smell molecules by binding to them and rendering them inert.
The same thing can be accomplished by standing in front of a campfire or grassfire and holding your pet in the path of the smoke. (not near the FLAMES, Please!) The ions in the smoke neutralize the odor producing chemical.
Folklore also claims tomato juice to be a potent skunk smell remover. Tomato juice has no chemical effect on the skunk smell, but it does have a distinct odor of its own.
According to the Indiana University School of Medicine:
The smell receptors in your nose bind the skunk odor so tightly that eventually you stop smelling it so much. This is called "olfactory fatigue". At that point, the tomato juice you've just bathed your pet with is a new smell that your nose is not used to yet. After a while, though, the tomato juice smell will go away and that skunk odor will come back.
Pssst!
