It also depends on the type of floor. Wash the affected area with any good
detergent/water (I'm assuming that it is a relatively small area). Then,
pet stores sell a spray for neutralizing pet odors, including urine. Spray
the area with this. As long as you don't put collections right on top of
the area, there should be no significant effect on them. Remember, the
spray is made for use around your pets and kids, so it's harmful chemicals
are kept to a minimum. DON'T spray collection objects (of course, you knew
that, it's just a standard disclaimer)! Good luck.
