Hi there. My favorite enzyme cleaner brands for getting rid of cat urine odor are Nature's Miracle and Urine Off. Both of these brands make a variety of specific products, depending on what you need.

You can use plain vinegar and water in a 50/50 dilution to clean most hard surfaces. Commercial products that are safe to use include Green Works wipes, the Seventh Generation line and the Mrs. Meyer's line of "eco-cleaners".

An enzymatic cleaner such as Nature's Miracle is the best for removing urine. It works by breaking down the actual urine particles to help remove smell and reduce staining. You can then use another cleaner as needed. Be sure to test any spots first with the enzymatic cleaner to make sure it doesn't harm what you are cleaning. Clothing and other loose fabrics can also be washed.

I would recommend finding a product such as Urine Off and use that to remove the odor. This is an enzymatic solution that helps eliminate the smell of urine. I would also recommend sprinkling baking soda onto the area, let it dry and then vacuum the baking soda up. I hope this helps!

I would not recommend using essential oils, cats are very sensitive to them and certain ones are highly toxic. I will be honest, I don't use a special cleaner in my home as a vet. I just don't let my animals into the clean area until it's completely dried, and I have never had an issue. Brands I use in New Zealand are likely different from ones you can get in the US, but even the cleaners you get at the grocery store are safe to use around your cat. Just don't let George in the area until it's completely dried. I hope this helps!
