Let’s say I hypothetically had some mice pee in some plastic components that cannot be properly cleaned in any realistic way. Is it possible to heat it up to “cook off” the mouse pee nastiness without actually melting the plastic?

    You pretty much either put so much heat into urea that it turns to ammonia and melts your plastic while doing so or you wait for some bacteria to eat it and turn it into ammonia. It technically starts vaporizing at above 130 C.
