Next, you need to safely secure the bag, to do this you should double knot the bag to ensure it is fully secure. Next, you must dispose of the body in a safe location such as a landfill site away from other homes and your own home. Never place the body in your own trash can as it will continue to decay and not only will the smell become more pungent over time it may attract other animals to your property.

Once this is done you will want to remove the smell of the skunk from the location in your home where you found it. For ceramic or concrete surfaces, the best option is to use diluted bleach. For other areas that are wooden, you should use diluted ammonia.

If you feel the smell is also on any of your furnishings inside your home this can be removed by hydrogen peroxide and water. Use one-part hydrogen peroxide to six parts water, and soak the material for 1-2 hours before removing the solution. This works best for curtains and rugs.

For other more sensitive materials, you can soak the material with a solution of one-part vinegar to four parts water for 2-3 hours.

After all this, you can then wash the material or fabric in the washing machine with fabric softener.
