Cat Peed on MacBook, Still works but smells. HELP!

I was cat sitting for my Aunt and Uncle on vacation and one of them decided to pee on my laptop sitting on their expensive coffee table. luckily i closed my laptop and the pee only got on the outside and came right off without damage to the keyboard, motherboard, or power supply. But, IT STILL SMELLS LIKE CAT ****! I wiped it down with Lysol wipes and the smell is still present. Is there anything I can gently use to clean my laptop to get rid of this disgusting smell. I just got this thing for college, needs to last me 4 years with out my gaging.

Warm water and vinegar, you'll need to be extremely careful that no liquid enters the machine (wet the cloth, not the Mac), you will probably need to repeat this a number of times. Soft cloths (so that the Mac doesn't scratch) and absorbent tissue for blotting. Do not let it get wet, go slow.

Good luck 😟

And once more just for emphasis .... Do Not Let The Mac get Wet!

Thanks, I will try later when someone else is with me to make sure I don't break it 😉. Hope this works, it's mainly on the lower case which i found a replacement part online that i could buy but thats $150.

If you can't get rid of the smell that may seem like a good deal 😁

But I think that with time, effort and care you will be rid of it, I have a few cats, I know it well (it's vile)
