Your Clothing Stinks
Hydrogen peroxide ranks as perhaps your best weapon against the scourge of the skunk. Because it can damage the fibers of your clothing, however, it must be diluted prior to application. Mix one part hydrogen peroxide with six parts water, then soak your clothing in the solution for an hour or two.

If the affected piece is delicate or dry clean only, skip the peroxide, opting instead for a staple of the pantry—vinegar. Though somewhat less effective than the alternative, vinegar works reasonably well to get rid of skunk smell, and it’s much less harsh. If you’re cleaning your clothes in a vinegar bath (one part vinegar, four parts water), leave the garments to soak a little longer, for as long as three hours.

Once the recommended soaking time has elapsed, place your clothing into the washing machine, adding a half-cup of baking soda to your usual cycle. Finally, if you can, let the clothing dry outside. Believe it or not, the sun’s ultraviolet rays work to further break down any odor that still remains.

For tile or stone counter tops, scrub with diluted bleach (following the instructions printed on the bleach container). For wood, use water and ammonia. And for harder-to-wash materials, such as fabric curtains or wall-to-wall carpeting, think about hiring a steam cleaning service (or renting the tool).

You Stink or Your Pet Does
If you or your pet has been sprayed, grab the hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dish washing detergent.  Mix a quart of three-percent hydrogen peroxide, a quarter- to half-cup of baking soda, and a teaspoon of dish washing detergent. Dip your rag into the solution, using it to rub yourself down or to wash your pets fur. Avoid your eyes and any sensitive areas. When you’re finished, just dump the mixture away from children and pets and rinse the area thoroughly. It shouldn’t be stored (this potent brew can actually destroy the container it is in).

No matter which game plan you decide, do your best to open all windows and air out the house. Use fans, and change your HVAC filters. Most of all, remember that addressing the skunk smell immediately can save you days of agonizing odor and re-cleaning. Save multiple showers and endless household cleanings with the skunk smell tips I mentioned above.
