If you don't want to (or can't) use household bleach (sodium hypochlorite) on the offending area, a enzymatic cleaner such as Quick Action, Nature's Miracle, or Unique may help. The bacteria in enzymatic cleaners "eat" the urine and therefore remove the smell. It may take several applications of enzymes, following the directions exactly. Some enzymatic cleaners may even be applied to walls and furniture.

Regarding bleach to clean urine, bleach destroys everything, even HIV. However, bleach reacts with ammonia (urine) and may produce an unpleasant or toxic gas, depending on the amount of ammonia present. Use caution!
Enzymatic cleaners (NOT odor neutralizers; odor neutralizers do not contain enzymes) are available at hardware stores, home improvement centers, and veterinary supply stores.

Kill all the mice. Leave one of their heads up on a stake so furture hordes can see the fate that awaits them. Then use bleach water to get rid of the smell.
Mop or spray it with vinegar.Then just turn a fan on to dry it well.Once it is dry the vinegar smell will leave out.Do the corners well.
