First work out where it's coming from. If a pet got sprayed, the pet and its bedding are the source. If nobody did, there's a good chance a skunk is under the house or deck, and nothing you do inside will win until that's dealt with. Inside: open everything up, put out bowls of white vinegar or activated charcoal, swap the HVAC filter, and wash every fabric you can. For a dog, the old peroxide, baking soda and dish soap mix works far better than tomato juice. Mix it fresh, keep it away from the eyes, and never store it in a closed bottle.
