How can I get rid of Skunk stink?

Balgownie Veterinary Hospital: FAQ September 2003
I was wondering if you had any good ideas to get rid of the smell from a skunk spray that is now on my dog because he thought they could be friends. If ya have any ideas i would love to hear about them. I used a baking soda, peroxide, and liquid soap combination and it worked ok but I was wondering if there was something better. Thanks a bunch. I imagine any of the good veterinary shampoos will do the trick, followed by a cologne type of coat spray. Have a chat to your vet for the best products.

Make sure that this covering extends to the ground while holding it - don't let the skunk see your feet coming as this may alarm him.

I have heard that sunless tanners stink. Can you explain?

Frequently Asked Questions - Sunless.com
There is a noticeable smell about an hour after you have applied the sunless tanner. I have read statements that the smell fades, but I haven't noticed that myself. It seems to persist until you wash the sunless tanner off. The smell isn't that terrible, but it's not how human beings normally smell. Some of the perfumes added to sunless tanners to mask the smell are far worse than the smell itself. Au Courant makes a virtually odor-free product. Nivea makes the worst-smelling.

Why do my sandals stink?

Chaco
The sweat from your feet mixes with the dust from streets and trails to create the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. This organic gunk can be a serious impediment to social intercourse. Washing often can help very much (the sandals that is, although not a bad idea for feet too). The easiest way to wash the sandals is to throw them in the washer with your clothes once a week. Air dry, preferably in the sun. Don't use too much detergent or it will leave a residue on your sandals.

tsp. Liquid Soap Mix these together. Wet the pet. Wash with the neutralizer and make sure to work it in down to the skin. Rinse off with warm water. (do not put the pet in the sun to dry, it will bleach the fur). If the house has the odor, boil vinegar on the stove, this will help to subdue the odor. Also, please note that if your pet gets wet after being sprayed the odor tends to come out again.

What made you decide to get a skunk?

Domesticated Skunks 101 (Exotic Pet Care)
Well, as should be pretty obvious, we're both rather enamored by the Mustilidae family and, unfortunately, wolverines don't make good pets. But seriously, skunks are affectionate, moreso than ferrets, and they're larger. Larger was a big sell for us because we like big animals. However, Mephitis mephitis also seems to be smarter and less independent than Mustela putorious furo. I also have allergies to both dogs and cats, but I continue not to have allergies to anything in the Mustilidae family.

What if I see a raccoon/opossum/skunk out during the day?

Frequently Asked Questions
Although nocturnal animals are most active throughout the night, it is not an indication that something is necessarily wrong if seen out during the day. Nocturnal animals often DO come out during the day. Pet food, bird seed, and garbage can be powerful attractants. Weather changes also affect wildlife. A mother skunk or raccoon will often venture out in the daytime to take a well deserved break from her babies.

How can I get rid of the noise in my system?

Amplifier Frequently Asked Questions
First let us lay some groundwork: audio systems can exhibit "hum" and they can exhibit "buzz," which are two separate situations. To solve the problem, you need to determine whether your system is exhibiting hum or buzz. Sixty(60)-hertz hum (fifty(50) hertz internationally) is a result of having a ground loop in the audio system. This is where there are two or more ground references in the system, and current is flowing from one ground point to another.

Do you have to spay/neuter a pet skunk?

Domesticated Skunks 101 (Exotic Pet Care)
If you don't spay or neuter a skunk, they become aggressive and not at all fun to be around. An un-spayed/un-neutered skunk is not a good pet. It also endangers the health of female skunks to go into heat without being bred. We've heard of one case where a female skunk wasn't spayed early enough and went into heat and, despite heroic efforts to get her out of heat, she died within a year.
