My dog was sprayed by a skunk two nights ago. I bathed him the day after with his shampoo but, he still smells a little. The house it is very strong, everything smells like skunk. What can I do?

I have been saving this because we've been smelling skunk in the neighborhood lately and I'm sure one day one of my dogs will find it! You could probably spray a little of this in the air too. It's worth a try.
Skunk scent remover shampoo:
32 ounces hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda
1 teaspoon dishwashing liquid.
Mix ingredients together in large bottle with cap.
Use as shampoo on pets and children. Rinse well.
To the person who said to put a cap over the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda, please heed this warning: NEVER, ever, store mixed solution in a closed bottle, sprayer,etc. Pressure will build up until the container bursts. This can cause severe injury.
Too much hydrogen peroxide and not enough baking soda. 1/4 cup (2 oz.) should be fine. You'll need 1 lb. baking soda. Mix the hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and dish soap into a gallon of warm water.
Work great and very cheap
Do not mix in a container with a lid. it will foam up and possibly explode
MIX IN AN OPEN CONTAINER! Do not put a cap or lid on the container its mixed in. This solution will explode if put in a closed container as it is unstable
Tomato juice I just used it on my dog yesterday I swear by by it
I have heard tomatoe juice or sauce will remove the smell by neutralizing it. Good Luck.
I faithfully use this recipe: 1 gallon of warm water (comfortable temperature for the pooch), 1 whole box (1 lb.) Baking Soda, 1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide, 1 tsp. dish soap. Mix and slather completely on dog with a terry cloth allowing to stand for 5 minutes. Rinse well. Repeat if necessary (although should not be).
