Time is also helpful here. My cat got "skunked", but this was an outside cat who sometimes came inside. She stayed outside for a while after that, but if I came home from an errand and walked into the house, I could tell if my husband had let the cat in. The smell was faint, but it was there. I didn't fuss about it too much. It went away.
More recently, my male cat, also an inside-outside cat, got sprayed, so he became an outside only cat. But it was now getting cold out and I knew he wouldn't like to be outside in the Wisconsin winter. We had a quite mild fall this year. After a month or more, I was complaining to my daughter about the cat, and she said she would take him. She has a barn with animals, not dairy cows but steers, lambs, ducks and such. She put him in there and it took him about a week to come out of hiding and start playing with the other cats and my granddaughter. No more smell.
After a few months, the smell goes away.
