What do you use to get rid of skunk smell?

Yeah, my dog got sprayed like, right in the face last night. Is there something I'm supposed to wash him with, or will regular soap and water work? I've noticed a lot of the smell went away overnight.

What do you guys do?

I remember in Jackass, they washed Johny Knoxville with a huge can of tomato juice, after he got himself sprayed intentionally.

From wikipedia, the mother of all knowledge:
"Removing the scent from objects or creatures can be difficult. Some home remedies suggest using tomato juice or vinegar. A more complex and effective remedy includes application of a mixture containing hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and liquid soap. The thiols, which are responsible for the odor, are not water soluble, even with soap, but the baking soda catalyzes the oxidative ability of the peroxide, which oxidizes the thiols into highly water-soluble sulfonates. In an episode of the television program MythBusters, the hydrogen peroxide mix was found to be the most effective smell removal agent."

We don't have no stinkin' skunks over here!

But yes, wikipedia is right as always!

 

[wicshade]

you have to appy the remedy rather quickly or else the scent will stick into him, tomato paste works good, but i suggest you by some ammonia, it can remove the smell from your furniture. I myself don't mind the smell of skunks.

and i keep sparky outside on a leash for the next month, and buy a shotgun for when pepe le pugh comes back, buckshot will be good enough to take care of him.

It's called Speed Stick, it's not expensive.

Napalm, son. Nothing in the world smells like it.
That smell....
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
You know, we once had a hill bombed 12 hours straight, and when I went up there I could find one, not one stinking dink body.
And that smell....that gasolene smell....
The whole hill smelled.....like victory
