Things You'll Need
- White vinegar
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Dawn dish-washing liquid
- Baking soda
Instructions
Avoid letting the dog into the house after it has been sprayed.
Use rubber gloves, and don't get anything into the dog's eyes.
Prepare a mixture that is 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water. Scrub only the sprayed areas and avoid getting the dog wet all over to prevent spreading the skunk oil. Repeat at least three times with the water/vinegar combination.
Alternately, mix a 1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide, a 1/4 cup Dawn dish-washing liquid and a 1/4 cup of baking soda into a quart of warm water. Again, wash only the affected area to avoid spreading the spray. The oxygen should neutralize the skunk spray.
Wash your carpet with cleaning solution and sprinkle kosher salt on the affected area if the dog has gotten inside and the carpet smells.
