Let’s say I hypothetically had some mice pee in some plastic components that cannot be properly cleaned in any realistic way. Is it possible to heat it up to “cook off” the mouse pee nastiness without actually melting the plastic?

    Get some enzyme spray specifically for addressing pet urine. There are lots of varieties online from pet warehouse places. Nature’s Miracle is a popular one. Get the urine destroyer, the stain and odour eliminator isn’t as good.

    It actually breaks down the urine residue as opposed to the other suggestions here which mask or encapsulate the smell without addressing the source.

    I have used enzyme on quite a few things I thought would never be usable again - def worth their weight in gold in my experience.

          It’s more about It’s ability to move fluidly (gasously I guess…) and interact with anything else that got itself caught up in the plastic ductwork of the vehicle, other things in the barn I have more time. But spring is upon me, and it won’t be worth fighting over this if I can’t get it to not smell so ridiculous.
