Hum, adding a neutralizer to a week acid would seem to negate any

From http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Removal_of_Skunk_Odor/Removing_Odor
"The thiols that are responsible for the odor are not water soluble,
even with soap, but the baking soda catalyzes the oxidative ability of
the peroxide, which oxidizes the thiols into highly water-soluble,
non-foul smelling sulfonates."
I have no idea if that makes sense but the mixture is widely recommended.
