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.
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.
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.
It depends on the cause. Many homeowners policies cover sudden events, such as a toilet overflow, while some exclude long-term damage or neglect. Renters policies often cover the renter's belongings but not the building. Call the insurer before cleanup starts.
Wear gloves, lift the waste with a disposable tool and bag it. Hose down only hard surfaces away from drains, wells and play areas. For large amounts, near a home or on a worksite, a cleanup team can remove and disinfect.
One call starts the removal, disinfection and disposal.
