Just a suggestion, go to Costco to buy a bulk baking soda bag. Spread it all over the carpet in the morning and sweep it in a bit before work and let it sit all day long. When you get home, vacuum it up and be sure to clear the filter as it will clog. You may have to do this for a week but the smell should gradually subside. The bags of baking soda sell for about $6.69 each.

My Dog Got Sprayed By A Skunk Tonight, And we Figured That Using Tomato Juice Would Take Away The Smell, But It Didn’t. We Even Let It Sit For Like Twenty Minutes. So I don’t Recommend Using That. But The Recipes On This Site Really Helped… I Just Have One Question: Does Anybody Know How To Clean Skunk Off Of The Carpet And Off Of The Couches???

My poor 9-yr-old grandson ran from my house across the street, charging up to his porch where a skunk was hanging out. He took the full spray. We are so grateful for this simple remedy. It worked great the first time!

Thank you. Thank you.

I have to agree with Floyd Oliver and go with the Tomato Juice. I have used it in the past on dogs and cats, also on myself and believe it or not – it DOES WORK!! Just make sure you keep plenty on hand, just in case. You wouldn’t want to go to the store right after getting sprayed.

After using the hydrogen and soda mixture, I follow through with a mint mouthwash rinse.

As for the washing of clothes don’t use anything hotter than warm. The skunk scent is oil based and you will just send small amounts into the air. It will settle on everything in the room, making for the smell last longer in your home.
