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?

    It’s a couple different things, but one of them is automotive plastics. There is just no way to get to parts without tearing the entire thing apart, and I don’t have the time or technical skills to do it quickly. And even if I did, I am not sure if it would really be worth it because of how infrequently it’s used.

      You might be able to soak it in some kind of water/soap or isopropyl bath and then dry it. If it has electronics it might not be doable without taking things apart
