Urine soaks into padding, subfloor and mattress layers, and bacteria keep releasing odor from there. Surface cleaning does not reach it. Removing the soaked materials is usually what ends the smell.
A small amount on a hard surface can be removed with protection and a disinfectant. Do not do it with an open cut on your hands, and do not sweep or scrub dried waste. For large amounts or deep stains, call a human feces removal team.
No single product is best for every surface. Waste is removed first, then an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label. Porous materials such as carpet and mattresses often have to be removed rather than cleaned.
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt or ill. Keep people and pets out of the area, open a window if you can, and do not spray or scrub the waste. Take photos for insurance and note what the waste touched.
Strong fumes can cause headaches, nausea and irritation, especially in a closed room. Long-term exposure in a heavily contaminated home is a health concern. Leave the room, ventilate it and have a cleanup team remove the source.
Usually not when waste has soaked through. Mattresses, couches and padded furniture absorb liquid deep inside, and surface cleaning does not reach it. Soaked items are typically removed and disposed of as waste.
