Skunked....

so my roommate goes to his friend's house and their dog gets skunked while it was in the back yard..

for some dumba$$ reason, they let the dog back in the house, so now he reaks of the foul odor.

I've tried lysol and fabreeze, but there still a faint smell of it in the house...

any other ideas??

Spraying acidic solutions (vinegar, etc) can help counteract skunk spray because it is alkaline (basic).

-after time, it will evaporate, because the skunk musk is also volatile.

wash the dog in tomatoe juice with about a half cup of vinegar.

Then just air the house out and spray a mix of apple vinegar/water on the things the dog has layed on and wait it out at a local movie theatre.

I hate skunks. When I first moved to fremont I lived on the hills by niles. In this dump of a place. Found a skunk in my room once...lucky no spray. They can't see so well so I just backed out and gave him time to do his thing and leave on his own. And once while sitting and checking my mail I had once walk up and start rubbing on my leg...I nearly reached down and picked it up cause i thought it was a cat til I looked down. Ahh....that one still gives me the chills. One of my neighbors was coming out the door when I waved them back in....they took off so fast when the looked at what I was pointing at....haaaaa.

Great memories of that old dump house. Least the rent was cheap.

When your buddy's out of the apartment, move all his crap outside exactly how it's organized in his bedroom. Take a nice ****, save it and rub it into all his stuff. then **** on everything and rub his face in it. Tell him his rents due and kick his *** out. Your roomates are morons tommy

*tomato juice and vinegar. I got nailed by a skunk when i was duck hunting as a kid and i took a bath in it. Scrub Scrub! Clean the dog througly then keep febreezing your personal crap and it will eventually go away.
