how do you eliminate skunk odor from upholstered furniture, pillows and cushion filling?

Answer 1

You need to call in a pro immediately...the longer the urine/gunk remains, the more it sets...good luck, you may have lost your furniture.

Answer 2

You might try a paste of baking soda (buy the large boxes!)and water. Rub it IN over all the furniture and let it dry thoroughly for a full day. Brush off the most of it with a soft type brush,no stiff bristles,and then vaccum. Then apply Febreeze if it is still there. You can wssh the accent pillows and cushion covers if they are removable in a delicate cycle with soda and detergent. You may need to wash them twice. I used febreeze on my walls, ceiling, curtains,furniture, etc. 2 or 3 times everyday, after a kit. fire, until the ins. guy came because I couldn't clean it or fix it yet. He walked in and said I thought you said you had a fire! He couldn't smell anything and said it was the first time that had happened. The drop ceiling had melted and smelled so bad besides the wood and plasics, etc and the Febreeze worked. Good luck and I bet you have a great story to tell!!

Answer 3

In years past I was told tomato juice but I don't know how it will work in your situation. Have you called animal control or even your local zoo?

There is an enzyme in the skunk's gland that is secreted in the spray. When I owned a skunk 30 years ago there was only one cure .... fire.

Answer 4

Keep your skunks outside the house....

Tomato juice and hot water will remove the odor just as well as expensive cleansers.

Answer 5

Throw Robert Cotton the f out

Answer 6

I have no idea if this will work or not, but maybe cold tea. I find if I rub a wet tea bag on my hands it removes odors from cleaners and also from onions and garlic. Might work.

Answer 7

Stop inviting the buggers in for tea, and keep them outside where they belong. Other than that, did you try Fabreeze?
