Thread: Goat smell on clothes

Been through this with skunks as well as other stinky gland animals... the comments on de-skunking are the way to go, with a few additions:

1) Give it a good wash with a degreaser like dish soap, or spot treat with isopropyl alcohol or other good degreasing/aggressive detergent. This' just to give it an initial clean and remove as much oil and dirt as possible so you can focus on the smell.

2) Alternate washing between basic and acidic solutions for several repetitions..... or using oxidizers...
The usual story is that you alternate between acidic and basic washes using something that won't ruin your clothes (strong baking soda and strong vinegar washes). What works better is hydrogen peroxide though... and turns out it's possibly more about using an oxidizer than an acid/base combo, but I've never used them separately so I'm not sure. Be careful with the hydrogen peroxide, you can burn yourself and bleach your clothes, so work up in concentration and thoroughly wash it out and neutralize afterwards. But it does work either way. Also keep in mind you'll be looking for the smell and once you're primed to smell for something it's hard not to notice even incredibly weak smells.
