    Really?!

    So last night I fix myself some tasty snacks, go down in the basement to prepare for a night of gaming and watching the UFC fights (greatest card ever by the way), let the dog out in the back yard, sit down on the couch, turn the TV on, grab a chip, log into minecraft, and then my dog comes running back into the house like a bat out of hell!

    My dog is going NUTS!!! Rubbing his head and face all over everything in the basement...the couch, the carpet, the chair...I call him over to me to see what the hell is wrong and am overcome by the worse smell ever. It was like a someone mixed some chemical smell with god awful burnt rubber. My dog starts rubbing his face all over me and my clothes clearly trying to get rid of something he ate or got into outside. I finally look at his face and he is just soak with what I would describe as a yellowish brown liquid covering that had been sprayed on him. At first I thought it was some chemical spray can that exploded in his face (he will chew anything!). I take a towel and start clearing his face and the yellowish substance is just soaking the towel. My dog is still going nuts just foaming at the mouth and it is all I can do to not throw up. So I rush outside to see if I can find a can or what ever he got into...then while outside I recognized the smell in the air.

    It was a SKUNK! The smell in the open air is quit different than up close and personal. In the open air it stinks but you just kind of turn your nose to it. When it is all over your dog, you and now your entire basement floor, couch and chair...well it is just not the same. It is far worse and almost has an industrial chemical smell for crowd control!

    So I take my dog up stairs to give him a quick shower and pour tomato juice all over him (that helps neutralize some of the scent). Of course the damn dog tries to rub his face clean on everything and anything along the way. I get done giving him a bath and then start in on the clean up in the house. God was it putrid!

    My wife come home about this time and the first thing she says is "Did you cook something?". Really woman! I've burnt the hell out of some food and fuck up a lot of recipes in my life, but never, ever have I cooked anything that even came that close in smell!

    I told her what happened she almost laughs but can't quite bring herself to do so. She said she smelled a skunk outside when she pulled up but inside it smell like burnt rubber.

    By this time everything has been clean to the best of my ability. But my house simply stinks! The basement is the worse. Their is no way I can game down their so I just watch the UFC fight all the way up on the second floor. It still stinks up there but not as bad. So I decide to rub some scented essential oils under my noise to help combat the smell....I use peppermint. It works to some degree.

    So now it is the next day...and I still can't go down in the basement, it is that bad. The rest of the house stinks but not as bad as the basement. I am pretty sure I am going to have to replace the carpet and furniture. I have read it is almost impossible to get skunk oil out of fabric. I have a chance to keep the carpet as I can aggressively clean it. But the furniture...its fuck!

    Just thought you'd all like to enjoy in my pain. Good day!

    ...So live, that when thy summons comes to join
    The innumerable caravan, which moves
    To that mysterious realm, where each shall take
    His chamber in the silent halls of death,
    Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,
    Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed
    By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
    Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
    About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.

    I was wondering why you hopped on and off MC real quick and then were gone for the night.

          That may be one of the funniest things I've read in a while. I'm so sorry it happened, but you have to laugh. If not just know that I have done enough laughing for you too...lol








          Good luck getting the smell out. One thing to keep in mind is that the time and effort you take to get the smell out might not be worth it compared to getting something new. Another is maybe take the furniture to an upholster and see what they would charge. You might come out cheaper if it's a cushion or two that needs reupholstering.

            That Mythbusters thing is interesting. And also the cheapest and easiest out of all as you should probably have all this in your house already.

            1 quart of Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), 1/4 cup of baking soda, one tablespoon of dish soap. Shake well and spray.

            ND you HAVE to try this and confirm for us. You are now the official DSA MythBuster, lol. I'm just curious as hell if it actually works.

            Also, I used to work in a pet store WAAAAYY back in the day. We had a skunk in the back for a bit, for some reason. I dunno if it was someone's pet, or experiment, who knows. But all I do know is, Skunks are nasty, vicious little fuckers. So don't be too morally conflicted to take out a BB Gun or .22 rifle to shot the fuckers instead of using the humane traps.

                  Really?!

                  I had a similar situation. Heard my dog barking in the backyard and when I went to check it out, I saw my dog having a Mexican standoff with a skunk. Tried to call him inside but he wouldn't budge. Next thing I know I see him get sprayed. So I grabbed a towel and brought him inside to the bathroom to wash him up. I used tomato sauce and dish soap. It worked. However, I had to vent the house for days.

                  The dish soap is good for removing oil. I would try that before replacing your furniture or carpet. Sounds like Ratix suggestion might be the best way to go.

                  Edit: Just be careful with the Hydrogen Peroxide. It may discolor fabric.

                    If you think skunks smell bad after you've driven by one that's been run over, guess again. Like ND learned, that smell will literally make you eyes water after close up exposure. Yes, it's that bad.

                    I've seen where dogs have damn near rubbed themselves hairless to make the smell go away. No joke.

                    At our old house, we used to feed a bunch of feral cats, and a skunk would come up at night to partake of their food. Airsoft guns can be a blessing to chase them away.

                    Even sprayed outside, that smell lasts for days, without mercy.

                    ND, I wish you the best, and hopefully a cheap outcome to this debacle.

                      That is crazy story. I'm glad your dog is fine, but sounds like your game room has seen better days.

                          So this morning I wake up, shit, shower, shave, get dressed and go off to work. I hold a meeting with one of my employees and he's like "dude...not trying to be rude but I kind of smell something." I tell him the story and he is like sorry to tell you bro but that smell has somehow attached itself to you. He said he has a REALLY keen sense of smell so others probably won't be able to smell it. BTW...I smell nothing as my senses have been dulled from being assaulted over the last couple days.

                          So I go to lunch with someone and we ride in his car. I tell him the story and ask if he can smell anything...he says now that I mention it...yes. He said he just thought it was some bad cologne like Sex Panther from Anchor Man movie. So this is just fucking great! I am not sure if the smell has just somehow permeated my clothes, I have not scrubbed my body enough or I happen to touch something with skunk oil on the way out the door that did not get clean.

                          So I leave work and get in my car...and my car stinks. On the way into work I just must have been use to the smell because I did not notice it. Now keep in mind...my car is in the garage and absolutely did not come into any contact with the dog or anything else that had skunk spray on it! The damn smell was that bad that it made its way into the car.

                          So I walk into the house after driving home and it is still just God awful! Like I said, I must have got use to it before I left for work because I could barely smell it before I left. But now that I have been out of the house I get to experience the assault all over again. This will take weeks to completely get rid of...

                          Damn Dog! I keep calling him a Son of a Bitch! He looks at me like nothing is wrong.

                              That is such a completely awesome story. Good luck--I think the idea of reupholstering might really make some sense.

                              UFC was at least really awesome. Like that was the best night of fights ever. Great card, great results. Too bad you had the skunk issue as the prelude to a great night of fights.
