In time, skunk odor will dissipate with outdoor airing. But you can speed the process by soaking washable clothing in a solution of ammonia and warm water for at least 30 minutes. Then, wash as usual using a heavy-duty detergent. DO NOT USE BLEACH. Ammonia and bleach combined produce toxic fumes. If odor remains, repeat the process.
Line-dry the garments - using the high heat of the dryer seems to infuse the odor into the fibers.
For non-washable clothing, air thoroughly out of direct sunlight then take it to the dry-cleaner. Share your problem and a good professional should be able to help you.
