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".

Thanks for the info about the litter boxes. Yes, it does matter! The rule is to have one litter box for each cat, plus one extra. So ideally, you should have 11 litter boxes. Anyway, as for a product, I recommend Skout's Honor. I use it when my cats have accidents, and it's amazing. I hope this helps!

I would suspect the citrus oil could be irritating to a cats upper respiratory tract. With sensitive animals around using a vinegar and water solution is always a safe bet. Another suggestion would be to keep Melcho in a different area of the house while cleaning and allow him back in once everything has dried and the fumes have mostly dissipated. A bit depends on what type of allergic reaction he was having, if it's respiratory you want to avoid compounds with strong perfumes or fumes. Cats seem particularly sensitive to the Pine-Sol and Lysol type products. If it was more of a contact reaction to touching the cleaners then typically waiting till the area is completely dry may be safe. But in general vinegar and water solutions are very safe to use around cats and you should not need to remove him from the area you're working in. I hope this helps, thank you for using Boop by Petco

For situations like these I typically recommend a urine enzyme destroyer such as Nature’s Miracle. It helps clean up the urine as well as help eliminate the odor. Clean the area thoroughly as soon as you notice the cat has sprayed. To help prevent your cat from spraying you should have him neutered if he isn’t already. You may also want to add more litter boxes to your home. It is also helpful if you get a pheromone diffuser (like a DAP diffuser) that will help to relieve your cat’s stress and hopefully make him less likely to spray. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Boop by Petco. Best of luck!

Yes it should be safe to use. I don't know how well it will work though. I think you should try some Feliway diffusers and get a second litter box with a different type of litter to put in a different location. He may not like the one you are currently using. Also, if he is not neutered, having that done will often stop urine marking. https://www.amazon.co.jp/s?k=feliway&__mk_ja_JP=%E3%82%AB%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%83%8A&ref=nb_sb_noss_1
