2 tsp Ivory liquid soap

Mix ingredients in an open container and use immediately. Don't wet the fur with water first and do NOT get this mixture in the eyes. A rag should be used to apply the solution around the pet's face. Be sure to saturate the areas that got direct hits (you'll know by how strong it smells). Leave it on for five minutes and rinse with lukewarm water. Then repeat the process. By the end of the second shampoo, the smell should be gone. If not, repeat again.

As long as you wash with this within 4 hours of being sprayed, it will work. Longer than 4 hours and you're hooped! The oils in skunk spray will have absorbed and you're stuck with that smell.

Do not ever store this recipe, the chemicals will react and cause the closed container to explode.

Good luck and I hope you never need this recipe!

ps Jeanine made some very good points in the comments on this post - be sure to use a conditioner after using this process, do NOT leave the solution on for more than 5 minutes at a time!! please skip down to her comments for the rest.
