My aunt had her little dog sprayed about a week ago. The dog ran into the house, and apparently ran around a bedroom before she could give it a bath.

Lingering but faint odor in there when you walk in the room. I had to sleep in there last night and it was most unpleasant. It's all over the bed and sheets.

I've told my aunt to bag all the linens, and I told her about the peroxide/baking soda formula.

I've sprayed down the bed mattress, and put my nose to the floor and all over objects in the room. I can't smell it anywhere in the room specifically anymore, but a lingering "air odor" remains.

My question is: what is the best way to remove the smell from the air in the bedroom, and is there a way to dilute the formula enough to soak all the sheets, pillows + comforter in?


Thanks for any help guys.

White vinager is the anti skunk if your asking ,makes it go neutral . Not sure why but if mix the two together it just smell like vinager . Mite try placing a couple of dishes full in your room . Get it air born

i use an atomizer .. works really good

Tsar, because women have just an incredible sense of smell, I'll leave the final opinion to you. This has actually worked but I really need a woman's opinion. Take a couple of Glade plug-ins and stick them into a couple of electrical sockets. ( Now here's the important part; only citrus plug-ins will work; floral or potpourri may only make it worse ) Now open the windows and set a fan to blow everything out of the room. I guess this would kind of be like bringing nature into the house to do its thing.

My aunt brought home something called:

The Bomb

Odor control fogger: (in a can)

ingredients: acetone, propane, iso-butane

(Dear lord it really is a bomb!)

I'm scared to use this thing!

Well Tsar, I guess if you blow up the room there's a good chance that you won't notice the skunk smell anymore.

Is that used to burn it down? Good grief!

Uhh...open the windows! Won't take the essence out, but it's free and easy to do!

Like Wiggler said, atomizer/o-zone machine works great. When we have a skunk spray in a trap all we do is tear off the trap covering, put the trap in the shell on my truck that evening with the o-zone machine and next morning the trap AND the truck are pretty much scent free. If the trap is really bad it might take a couple more times with the machine but almost every time it only takes one night to clear out the truck. (thank God!)
