What is the best product to get cat urine smell out?

I think neighborhood cats have been urining next to our front door. It smells so bad! It's just nasty. I know it's not our cats. We have been feeding ONE stray and she sits by the front door. I don't mind feeding her but I do mind male cats urning. HELP Please,.... Any idea's or home made remedies?

    You need to hose it down thoroughly first of all, then scrub with a mix of laundry detergent and borax powder (cup of detergent to 1/2 cup of borax), then rinse like crazy.

    Once it's dry cover the area with bicarbonate of soda (Arm and Hammer, in a box, or get the same thing much cheaper from Dollar stores) and leave for a couple of hours, then sweep it up and throw it in the bin.

    THEN - to stop them coming back - squeeze the juice of the SKIN of several oranges around the area, cats hate that smell. Keep topping up the orange scent with fresh orange skins every couple of days.

    Additional - There are lots of products in the Pet Aisle of any store, but they don't work as well the above method and will cost many, many times more to buy.
