Ok - the dog spooked a skunk last night and while the spray missed him,
it
did hit the driveway and lawn

So, do I just have to wait it out or is there something I can do the get
the
oils out of the lawn and driveway. Silly dog likes to rub himself in the
musk. Yes, I know it is normal and he's had a little vinegar rub to take
most of the edge off the stench. I'm not bathing him until I can
eliminate
some of the odor on the driveway.

Thinking of things that dissolve oil without hurting the lawn, car wash
stuff comes to find. Granted, it's usually diluted when it's rinsed off
the
car, but still....might be worth a try. Or, a dish liquid like Dawn,
diluted
and sprayed onto the area, allowed to sit for a little while, then
rinsed.
Then, repeated 13,000 times.




We are supposed to get drenched shortly. We'll see what happens.

Cheryl, the 'main ingredient' in skunk spray is actually activated by
water. It'll make it worse to get it wet.

Mix up some of this and try it. It scales up pretty well.

1 Quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda
1 teaspoon dish soap

I PROMISE it'll work. See you on RCTN!

Something must disintegrate the stuff, without human intervention.
Otherwise, the woods would permanently stink.



I never said it wouldn't fade on it's own. It will. It just takes
plenty of time. But would you want a stinky driveway in the meantime?
I know I wouldn't!
