Many people will tell you to use tomato juice.  I've tried it, and it doesn't
work well.  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.
