Question How to Remove Skunk Odor?


Well last night something killed a skunk between my house and my truck. The outside of my truck has the skunk scent on it but thankfully the inside doesn't smell. Guess that says something about the quality of the cab.

Any ideas on how to remove it. I don't think I want to wash the whole truck with tomato juice.

Time...

Unfortunately, that is the only thing that i can think of at the moment. I would think that a couple of regular washes, and letting it set outside would be your best bet. We had a Doberman that decided to get in a little tussle with a skunk once. We gave him a couple of baths with tomato juice, and he was still banned to the porch for a couple of weeks.

I hit a skunk in my old Benz one night and the darn thing must have exploded underneath the car. My girl friend (wife now) and I had to literally drive with our heads outside the windows on the way home. take it to an automatic car wash and use the undercarage spray and wash it like 5-6 times. Try to find the wash with the interior scent oil in a spreay deal. It takes like 50 cents and sprays scent in your car only use it under and over your car. Then rinse it off. You won't get all of the scent under the car rinsed off and that will help alot. Just get all the stuff rinsed off the paint.

(they need a smilly holding his nose)

Tomato juice takes the smell off your person, but I don’t know how you would wash your truck with it or if it would do any damage to the finish.

Skunk juice is really hard to get rid of. My dad had skunks under his house once and apparantly they like to fight with possums because we trapped like 5 skunks and two possums out from under there. Luckily he was ready to remodel so we tore the whole inside out of the house to get rid of it. They say a mixture of vinegar and water gets rid of skunk smell...
It was a mess.

Good thing you were remodeling...I can see that claim under home owners.
