There is no single best product. Waste is removed first, then an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label on the surface in question. Porous materials such as carpet and mattresses often have to be removed rather than cleaned.
Urine is treated with caution when it is part of a contamination, especially if mixed with blood or other fluids. Large amounts that soak into flooring or mattresses are cleaned with protective gear and disinfected. Odor often stays behind unless the soaked materials are removed.
