| |
|
| |
1
quart 3% hydrogen peroxide |
| |
1/4
cup baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) |
| |
1
teaspoon liquid soap |
| |
|
| |
*IMPORTANT* |
| |
"Once
you mix the hydrogen peroxide with the baking
soda, it is no longer stable," |
| |
said
Krebaum. "You can't store it in a bottle,
because it would explode from all the oxygen."
|
| |
|
| |
Make
only as much de-skunking remedy as you can
use at one time. |
| |
It
is unsafe to bottle the chemical combination.

|
| |
Mix
the three ingredients together and use immediately. |
| |
Brandon
advises beginning by wetting your pet down, |
| |
then applying the mixture and working through
the animals' hair. |
| |
Leave
the solution on for three to four minutes,
and finish by rinsing with tap water. |
| |
Do
not let the solution soak for more than
a few minutes. |
| |
|
| |
This
odor remover works on decomposing organic
matter, fecal matter, urine and skunk spray. |
| |
It
is made from simple household ingredients:
|
| |
1
quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide, |
| |
1/4
cup of baking soda, |
| |
and
1 teaspoon of liquid dish soap. |
| |
(
which breaks up the oils in the skunk spray |
| |
and
allows the other ingredients in the solution
to do their stuff. ) |
