  • Spray the area to the point of soaking with bleach. It will react chemically with the skunk spray which is a sulfur compound. I’ve washed my dog a few times with bleach water as he was not smart enough to leave the resident skunk alone. Bleach will kill shrubs and rust metal so be careful.

  • hydrogen peroxide and baking soda mixed together

  • The traditional skunk odor remover is tomato juice. I sprayed about a gallon of that under my work van then hosed it off after running over a skunk here in East Texas. Tomatoes contain citric acid so that must be the active agent which negates that foul aroma. I believe Kosher salt (sour salt) is the food grade form of citric acid. It’s available at Wal-Mart and other grocery stores so you could get a few containers of it and mix those in 5 gallons of water, then spray that on with a pump-up garden sprayer. I wouldn’t bother rinsing it off since the dried acid and salt crystals will deter microbial growths on the lumber.
