First I would shampoo the carpets really good maybe urine leaked into the carpet, and then turn on the heater at full blast on the floor to dry the carpet.

Theres a product ive used many times that I recommend its called Dakota odor control, basically you lower your rear armrest put a cardboard or rags under the spray fogger. Open your glove box and lower the door to the ac filter box inlet, this will help penetrate inside the ac blower. Next turn on the fogger and close all the doors and let it set for minimum 8 hours.

Go to a detail shop, let them handle it professionally. Irish spring soap bar slices, peppermint oil chases off mouse.
