Oh boy, this stinks...
So I hit a skunk with my car tonight. The outside of car stinks when I walk by. I hope the inside doesn’t start to smell! Anyone ever done this?

No, but the dog and I have both been sprayed. Liquid soap, peroxide, and baking soda make a concoction that will neutralize the offending chemical.

IIRC, it is high PH and you gotta hit it with Acid, lemon tomato etc.
There is also this stuff call XO that I think will mostly abate it's offensiveness...

Vinegar may help. I have found Nature's Miracle Skunk Odor Remover to be useful on my dog, who seems to love skunks.

Fingers crossed...sprayed it with bunch of vinegar, soap, etc...then took to get washed. Man, I smell like skunk tonight. This sucks. Oh well, at least I can blame my stink on something.

Just about every cat my family has had over the years has learned about skunks the hard way.

Imagine how the skunk feels about your encounter!

Our beloved family dog got sprayed at point-blank range years ago.
It was so concentrated the fur on her chest was discolored for months! It literally had to grow out, it was a stain we couldn't wash out of her. Good luck with the car. Don't inadvertently damage the finish in your zeal to scrub the paint. It won't stink forever. |

Reminds me of our last golden (skunk) retriever ... let him out in the back yard for his final pee of the night, and out of the corner of my eye saw a moving shadow. Dog immediately bee-lined for it, with me in hot pursuit, middle of winter, barefoot. Mr Skunk heard me yelling at the dog, assumed the position and waited for dog to get within 3 feet, with me directly behind pulling on the dog's tail.
Bingo, bingo! My eyes and lungs burned so bad, but I couldn't imagine what our dog felt like with a nose 1000X more sensitive. Threw out all my clothes, grabbed dog and took him into the shower. Couldn't get the skunk smell off *my* skin for a month, and our dog didn't smell right for 6 months. Every time he got wet, it was horrible. And yeah, we tried all the internet remedies - tomato juice, vinegar, peroxide, baking soda, special soaps, etc. About 2 months after he finally started to smell "normal" - he got skunked again. Lather, rinse, repeat ... some dogs are just skunk magnets. Last edited by CSTRider; 02-28-2020 at 12:48 AM. |

My parents dog got popped by a skunk years ago, He also made it back into the house (the dog). The skunk smell was unbearable and was now having a stink party in all of the carpets. They did everything including bringing in some oxygen ionizer laser weapon to eradicate the offending aroma.
Fast forward 25 years. Whenever I go to their house I catch a wiff of skunk. it is subtle and my parents no longer smell the odor. I do. YMMV. Brad Last edited by grateful; 02-28-2020 at 05:16 PM. Reason: sorry miss list |

Happy to report 99% of odor gone...stunk last night but pouring water, vinegar, dish soap solution over wheels and underside of car several times, going through car wash 2x, keeping windows open all night appears to have worked very well. Will see if it passes the spouse test later today, she smells much better than I do in both interpretations of this sentence.

My brother shot a skunk and it sprayed the barn. Took the paint off.

When I was in high school went outside one night to ride bike to store...saw what I thought was a neighborhood cat at my feet and bent down to stroke him...the skunk drenched me! Dripping from face, burning eyes...went back inside and took off the jacket I was wearing and put it onto a formica topped table to shower etc...noticed later the spray had actually burned into the formica and melted it abit...strong stuff!
