Eli5 Why is skunk spray so potent and stay in one area for so long?
In: 1
It’s the thiol(s) that stink. But there are 2-3 compounds in the spray- and the non-stinky ones break down to the stinky ones with water.
To clean, use hydrogen peroxide to break down the thiols, soap to break down the oils, and water.
