How Do I Get Rid of Odors

Shoe Odors | Skunk Odor | 

White vinegar or hydrogen peroxide counteracts the natural oil in skunk spray. 
You need to clean with something stronger than water -- something that can remove oil instead of just spreading it around. Try this popular and highly recommended mixture:

• 1 liter (or quart) white vinegar OR 3% hydrogen peroxide (peroxide may cause bleaching)
• 1/4 c. baking soda
• 1 tsp. dish detergent (also a de-greaser)

Wash all sprayed clothes and fabrics as soon as possible.

Bleach can clean that skunk smell from outdoor structures.

 Shoe Odors

Sachet Variation

Fill the toe of a sock with baking soda and tie it off. Leave this Sock Sachet in your shoes overnight to absorb odors.

Baking Soda Option #2

Sprinkle a layer of baking soda directly into your shoes to sit overnight. In the morning tap the baking soda out before wearing. Be careful about using baking soda in leather and suede shoes. A buildup of baking soda can cause shoes to become more brittle. Use the sachets described above in shoes you may have concerns about.

Using baking soda to remove shoe odors can reduce sensitive skin reactions with other odor removal products.
