Bleach in hot water and a scrub brush.
And move it away from the neighbors fence so their critters can't pee on it again.

    Wipe and scrub it with a cleaner (I am no sure about bleach..that affects some finishes).. and then use a pressure washer at a low setting (or take it to a do-it-yourself car wash)

    That should not only get the spray off but will also remove any of the mold and growth that normally builds up on things left outside.

    THe important thing is to test the pressure on it first - pick a spot where it wont show. If the pressure is high and if you hold the wand too close you can remove the fininish along with the dirt, so you need to experiment a bit before you start on the project.

    THe fabric cushions should be able to go into your wash on a gentle cycle...

    good luck..

    Mix a scoop of Oxyclean with hot water and sponge it all over the offended piece. Let it sit out in the sun for about a half hour. Then hose it off aggressively.

    Oxy is a powdered peroxide and it neutralizes urine, so both the smell goes away and the piece is clean and sanitary again.
