Skunked

[Denise]

Can't add much to helping the car, but for dogs straight hot water - as hot as you both can handle - will do wonders for removing the smell. A vet I worked for had her two show dogs skunked a couple of days before a big show. Lots of baths with regular shampoo and HOT water (no, we didn't scald the dogs!) and they made the show OK. So whatever in the car you can wash with hot water a few times, do that. Leather? Not the answer.

Since this thread got bumped, I'll reiterate OderNix. It's an enxzymatic scent killer, and it works. It may also be sold under 'hunter's odornix', or 'veterinary odornix'. There's a few flavors, some with scents added, but the basic mix kills all odor and there's nothing left to smell.

BTW, I have no investment in this product or company, so I'm not 'promoting' it for any reason other than that it's a great product.

One of my client had is dog sprayed by a skunk, so now the collar is intolerable as it smell strong.

Anyone experience / good tips on removing odor without scraping the leather?

I was thinking about, let the time go...and the odor will fade...

or any leather cleaner may help?...

She was thinking about baking soda and peroxide...sound harsh.

thanks all

i'm just guessing here...but maybe give it a bath/soak in white vinager??...then run it through a baking soda water mix...thats what i would try myself...if its a black collar...i'd soak it in the vinagroon...making sure it penetrated all the way...dunno...skunk is bad...and the funk prolly soaked in damn good...so whatever ya do its gonna have to penetrate the leather well...

Did you ever try Odernix on aniline leather twinoaks?

I try the soda paste on a leather scrap and thats very warsh, it do remove the top coat and the dye.

I read we could place the skunked leather in a bag 24h+ along with a pot of baking soda to absorb the odor.

I would be afraid to soak the leather. Maybe diluted white vinegar applied couple of time...but baking soda is no after the test i done...well, if that would be done, the piece would need a new dye and lots of cream.

Look like there is no magic answer (maybe Odernix?)

No one experience peroxide? I try on leather scrap and it dont look to warm at first sight.

No, admittedly, I haven't used it specifically to remove skunk from leather. I have used it to remove cat spray from a leather coat, with no apparent damage to the leather.

I guess you could always contact the company through the web link I posted to ask them if it affects leather.
