When a Skunk Strikes...

The following solution has worked for many people and is a favorite among home remedies.

It’s important not to store this in a closed container since the mixture of these ingredients creates pressure and could burst.

Recipe: 

Mix ingredients together.

Wash your dog as soon as possible to get rid of the skunk smell. First use warm water to wet your dog and then, with rubber gloves and a washcloth, rub the skunk odor remover into the coat. Concentrate on the spots that were directly hit by the skunk spray, and be careful of your dog’s eyes, ears, nose and mouth.

Leave the skunk odor remover on for 5 – 10 minutes so it can set, rinse thoroughly, and then repeat this process unless your dog suddenly smells amazingly fresh and clean (he probably won’t yet).

Follow up with a regular dog shampoo, and then make sure you leave your dog outside (or in a closed room) until he is dry.

Ingredients: 

1 qt. of 3% hydrogen peroxide
1/4 to 1/2 cups baking soda
1 – 2 tsp. dish soap

I don’t know about you, but I have prepared, served and eaten enough food during this holiday season; so I have decided to share a couple of recipes that will get us all off to a "clean start", even the most curious of pets.  I’m sure by next month we’ll all be ready to return to the kitchen and it will be sparkling clean.

Recipe: 

Combine ingredients and top with distilled water until you have 1 gallon of window cleaner.

Ingredients: 

2 cups denatured alcohol (can use rubbing alcohol 70 percent isopropyl)
1/2 cup household ammonia
1 tsp dishwashing liquid
1 tsp Jet Dry
1 gallon distilled water
