Eliminate pet odors by using products specifically for the job.
Once pet urine has been allowed to soak into subflooring of any material, it can present a cleaning challenge. Work to rid the areas of odors on days with low humidity and treat the areas multiple times, allowing them to totally dry between treatments. A fan can be employed to increase drying time. While odor elimination products work quickly, a slight odor may persist for several days. Delay flooring installation until odors are gone.
Odoban
Odoban original eucalyptus formula is manufactured to clean, disinfect, deodorize and sanitize any hard nonporous surfaces.

You'll need to use baking soda and water or another cleaning product prior to applying Odoban. Once Odoban has been applied, leave it on the area for 10 minutes or longer before wiping excess fluid away. Odoban can be found at big-box retailers, membership warehouses, online retailers or anywhere commercial-grade cleaning products are sold.
