Hey @Jeyo Punnakottil! Something that has worked well for me before is a warm water and vinegar blend... then start scrubbin'! I don't own cats anymore but grew up with them and this was part of our monthly chores. 

You could always paint the floor with killz but that probably ruins the look of the unit!

    @Katie Miller Great.. i heard about killz but not sure if it will make any damage to engineered wood.

     It does paint white like a primer would so you would have to figure out another layer to paint over to finish the floors. I feel like if you're going for a certain look it may be able to work though! Painted floors are very "in" on HGTV at least!

    Is it worth to replace floors due to pet odor?  Floors are already older so should be worth it?
