Like from a literal skunk?
Did something in your house get sprayed or is it just the aroma travelling in from outside?

Re: How do I get the skunk smell out of my house?
Obviously moving is not an option............ sorry I could not resist. That is such a nasty smell.
If you can open the doors and windows that will help. Try vinegar in open bowls. It absorbs odors. Your clothing will absorb the smell, so you may have to do laundry to help get the odor our of your house. Can you ask at Lowes or Home Depot if they have a spray that is for getting rid of the smell? I did a google search and it came up with an enzyme spray. something like this: http://www.magic-zymes.com/Magic-Zym...Fcvm7AodKFgAvw I haven't tried it, but it might give you more options.

Re: How do I get the skunk smell out of my house?
Literal skunk, it must have sprayed right outside the bedroom windows, which were closed at the time. I'm sure nothing got actual skunk spray on it, but the air is just horrible. The windows have been open all day with fans running.

Can you rent an ozone machine from somewhere?
Cross-posted... It might still help, but I think I would try washing off the house.

Re: How do I get the skunk smell out of my house?
Oh no! I was going to suggest vinegar in bowls like Maedchen said. That will be a real test of vinegar's amazing powers! Maybe point some fans out the windows, too?

Re: How do I get the skunk smell out of my house?
Alright, I've got bowls of vinegar in the 3 places where the smell is the strongest. I'll update on how that works. I guess I'll start doing some laundry, too.

Re: How do I get the skunk smell out of my house?
I read somewhere that cut apples also absorb smells- no idea if it is true

Have you been able to go out and hose down area outside of bedroom windows?

Re: How do I get the skunk smell out of my house?
There's no smell on the outside of the house anymore. It's only inside, so I'm not even sure where to spray.
---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ---------- I found some Febreeze air effects in the laundry room and sprayed that all over.

Re: How do I get the skunk smell out of my house?
yikes! I have no idea how to help, other than what's been suggested, but man, I'd be frustrated too! Praying that you can eliminate the smell quickly.
