Skunk odor remedies? ? ? ?

On the radio this morning someone called in wanting to know how to get rid of the skunk smell from their dog.   The radio station started taking calls from anyone with a remedy.  This dog had evidently gotten a skunk and then brought the smell in to this ladies house.  So she needed to get the odor off her dog as well as out of the house.  Here are a few things the callers had to say;  of course several recommended the tomato sauce shampoo for the dog,  but some of the things they recommended for the house were interesting.  One person said open a bag of charcoal in every room and with in three days the odor would be gone.  That one I could see working because they use charcoal in foot odor pads.  One lady said put a small dish of white vinegar in every room and that would absorb the odor.  I believe that one would work also.  When we fry bacon or fish the odor is almost unbearable and I set out some vinegar  and within a day the odor is gone.  When you are finished with your dish of vinegar pour it down your sink and it will deodorize your sink also.  One guy recommended feminine hygiene spray for the dog and the house.  He said he had used it when his dog had gotten sprayed by a skunk.  Someone else said to use coffee of course you would want to make sure it was cool before you bathed your dog with it.   They recommended using the coffee and dog shampoo.  You can also set coffee beans around in dishes to help with the smell in the house.  I have seen a few skunks lying around lately so keep an eye on your pets when you let them out or you might be resorting to a coffee bath for your best friend.
