from a small dog and the side of a house that happened to be in the line
of fire of a skunk??? Home remedies that work or commercial remedies???

Not only does it do a lousy job of removing the odor, but the combination of skunk and tomato odors is worse than the skunk odor alone. Baking soda works pretty well. It does a fair job of removing the heavy, oily skunk spray, and also deodorizes. -- Jeff Lichtman at rtech (Relational Technology, Inc.)

What the hell, try it on the house, too. If it has aluminum siding, just wash it down several times with soap and water. The smell will go away. -- Don Licsak ihnp4!hsi!licsak Health Systems International New Haven, CT 06511 "For Peace Of Mind, Resign As General Manager Of The Universe"
