How to remove skunk smell

How to remove skunk smellSo that skunk got you and your clothes smell terrible! Skunk musk is a complex oily mixture with a slight yellow tint, which not only leaves an unpleasant looking stain on your clothes, but also leaves a horrible odour as well, where deodorising your fabric can be the hardest thing. To remove skunk smell, it’s important to wash it as soon as possible, ideally using a deodorant, like Ariel, containing enzymes and solvents for skunk odour removal. Follow our Ariel stains solutions for tips for skunk odour and stain removal.
