A white skunk lived under the porch of my last apartment. One night I opened the door to call in Freddie and down the street comes lumbering a huge white cat. I of course go "Here kitty kitty" and it ran towards me. Then I realized it was a skunk. Almost tame. I shut the door in time and felt bad that I had teased it into thinking a meal was being offered.

Night 1 peroxide/baking soda/ dish washing liquid scrub plus rinse outdoors with the hose.
Boiling apples and cinnamon to kill smell indoors. Windows open/fans on.
Note to self - Oust does not remove odors from the air. It paints them a nauseatingly sweet vanilla.

Day 2 Outside in the sun on his bed feeling sorry for himself and going back to the spot where he rolled looking for more.
Day 2 PM Vinegar Bath and rinse. Dry in the sun
Day 2 PPM Another vinegar scrub. Left it on to dry.
Windows open/fan on. Boiling vinegar to neutralize smell. Balsamic is best for boiling but dyes dog red.

Day 3 House smells clean or at least skunk free. Dog smells of vinegar with a faint undertone of skunk.
Windows open/fans off.

End of drama until he returns to Jacqui and Kendall. Somehow this will be all my fault.

Many thanks to Tami and Peace for sympathy and advice. Many thanks to all for varied suggestions. The rest of you - those who suggested acid, razor cuts, dye jobs, etc - I hate you all. AND have added you to my gift list!
