Cats urine odor and stain removal products fall into three categories: bacterial, enzymatic, and chemical. Here are my top picks of odor removal products.
Anti-Icky-Poo by MisterMax

Anti-Icky-Poo is a serious product with a funny name, using genetically altered bacteria (microbes on steroids?) and enzymes to perform its dirty work. Anti-Icky-Poo also works on other kinds of organic substance, such as vomit, although it was primarily designed to combat urine odors.
Bramton Simple Solution

Bramton Simple Solution works with hungry bacteria, which eat the odor-causing components of cat urine, leaving behind carbon dioxide and water. The formula is safe on fabrics and carpet - anywhere water can be used.
Just Rite Urine Cleaning Products

I used a combination of the Just Rite products and the instructions given on the phone by Bill, the owner of Just Rite, and successfully removed all stain and odor from my stamped cement tile floors in my former home. Just Rite Urine Cleaning Products also did the job in removing some sprayed urine on walls in the corner.
OdorXit
OdorXit is a "contact chemistry," meaning that it works by direct contact with the odor-causing substance. The manufacturer is very candid about what it will and won't do. A plus is that it can be used safely with detergents.SeaYu Petrotech Odor Eliminator

Petrotech Odor Eliminator is a fast-acting solution to dozens of odor problems found in the home. It does the job it's advertised to do, efficiently and safely. Petrotech comes in two versions: a spray applicator and a direct stream. I found the spray method quite effective for eliminating odors in garbage cans, even stinky shoes, and the direct spray did the job on carpet odors.
Nature's Miracle
Nature's Miracle is a well-known enzymatic product, and is guaranteed to be safe for use on all water-safe materials. For best results, do not combine with detergents, or use after carpet has been cleaned with detergents.
