Apparently, a cat got in my garage and relieved itself somewhere in the corner of my garage.
Since I am working from home and my wife claimed the kitchen, I get the garage.
How the he'll do I get rid of this smell? I sprayed the area with Clorox cleaner and bleach, but it still smells....
Any ideas?
Thanks!
This E36 M3 has worked miracles at a few of my rentals.
Keep a wet dog in there with you. 
Febreeze got a lot of that smell out of my Challenge car.
The enzyme solutions (mentioned above) work well. Use a black light to see where to spray.
Our go-to's are "My Pet Peed" for carpets/soft surfaces (it's amazing) and OdoBan for hard surfaces.
Burn it to the ground and start over.
I can't stand cat pee smell and have sold a car and moved out of an apartment because of it
Our go-to for dogs is Nature's Miracle - I'd check to see if they have something for feline urine. So far we're happy with their stain lifter, hardwood cleaner, and skunk odor remover. Haven't had to use it much other than one accident from Milo when we left him alone too long, our fault, but Frosty - RIP two years come November - was pretty incontinent for his last month, and the Natures Miracle was the best thing we found.
I'd also check with OdoBan, which we use for general funks.
Have used Nature's Miracle (cat version) for cat pee, it works really well. Unfortunately, it is rather strongly perfumed itself, but the odor eventually fades.
+1 for nature's miracle. Can take a few soaks sometimes if it's been there awhile

I like this plan! If its the right dog, the cats wont come in!
I like having a couple cats around, so we had to train ours to ignore them. But the Mama kitty we have is mean... one of her boys survived, and she runs all the strays off. She is tiny, but tough, and he is very timid; but protective of his food, and his mama.
The "wet dog" plan is funny, but not even that would cover cat pee... I think burn it to the ground is the only for sure!
After doing some research, I sprayed the area with Apple cider vinegar and water.
Smells much better!
Our cat started pi$$ing in the corners of our carpeted living room shortly after we moved in. The plug in soothers didn't do anything and the smell was just awful. We ended up tearing up the carpet, using Killz on the subfloor and matching the wood floors of the adjacent room.

Everyone should keep a jug of Odoban under the sink

I second this post. The enzyme solutions are the answer, in part because they will not only help with the smell, they also break down the pheromone proteins that indicate to a cat that it's found it's latrine.

I was basically coming here to say that. I find unpasteurized apple cider vinegar works best. No of the commercial cleaners and enzyme concoctions work anywhere near as well as simple unpasteurized ACV. Our now passed male cat started spraying in his older years. After months of trying various things, they all seemed to work for human noses, but he would still come back and do it again. Once we used ACV he stopped re-marking immediately and never marked in that area again.
This is relevant to my present life, SWMBO's new kitten is causing havoc in our house with his mysterious urine habits.
