Homemade Skunk Smell Remover…that REALLY works!!!!
When I say we have included almost every kind of recipe in the Dining on a Dime Cookbook, I’m not joking! We’ve even included a really good and easy homemade skunk smell remover recipe, which actually works. It’s amazing how easily dogs get into mischief and get sprayed by a skunk. Maybe someone in your family stumbled across a skunk and now you want to remove the skunk odor. This recipe will definitely do the trick!

I thought with summer here and with many of us spending more and more time outside some of you might end up needing a good skunk smell remover! It might even be wise to take the ingredients with you on your picnics or camping trips, although these are basic ingredients and you may have them with you anyway.
My neighbor has a cabin by a lake and had to use this recipe about four times last year alone when a skunk made a nest under her porch. Each time she uses this homemade skunk smell remover she gets excited and calls me to let me know how great it worked once again. We hear people say over and over again how great this recipe and that it REALLY works!
Just for the record, things like tomato juice, vinegar, spraying with lemon, citrus, perfume or Febreze almost never work as skunk smell removers. If you don’t want to use the peroxide recipe you can soak down the person or animal with vinegar and dishsoap but this doesn’t work nearly as well as the skunk odor remover and honestly who wants to smell that skunk stink for days on end!

It really does work, my Rottweiler got sprayed by a skunk and she had a litter of puppies, she couldn’t leave them so I used this recipe. love it , putting it in my book?
we just bought a vacation home up in the mountains, we noticed that there was a strong flowery pungent smell in the house, come to find out the people who were watching over the place were masking the smell with airwick smellers plugged into the wall outlet, once I removed the airwick oder masker the smell of SKUNK came thru. Found out that a skunk had gotten under the house and made his way into the Heater air vent duct. I had a professional HVAC contractor come in and clean the air vent ducts and had a professional carpet cleaner come in and cleaned and deoderized the rungs but the smell is still prevelent. Patched the hole where he got under the house and the air duct vent BUT the smell is still prevelant. HELP!! spent over 800.00 already. trying to get rid of the smell.
The only thing I can think of is to mix up some of this skunk remover and spray it and wipe it on any of the surfaces you can and see if that helps. Now skunk smell should eventually go away on it’s own after about 3 wks – maybe a month. It the smell doesn’t go away it may be something else.
Would this work on cat pee smell too?!
I am not sure it would Julie but it isn’t that hard to mix up so you might try it. Just do a test spot though because peroxide can ever so slightly bleach the color out of some things.
YES!!!! It does work on cat pee!
