This is currently the most effective de-skunking bath, but the peroxide can potentially bleach your animals fur. Lemon juice or white vinegar can be substituted for the peroxide, but they don't work as well. In the bathtub or a bucket, mix together:
•1 gallon water
•1 quart hydrogen peroxide ~3% solution
•1 cup baking soda (For other uses of baking soda, read 75 extraordinary uses for baking soda)
•1 good squirt of hand or dish soap
The mixture will fizz. Use a sponge and lather it into the fur/skin taking care to avoid the ears and eyes. Let it sit for 10 minutes rinse and repeat.
This does work! as I've had to use it on Zeke. I haven't found any way to keep skunks away though, except fence the yard lol. (they have a hard time opening the gate, )
