There's some stuff called Urine Off that's supposed to work really well on things like this. It's not cheap though, but it's cheaper than a new carpet and an unusable room Biological washing powder is suppoed to work too, because of the enzymes, so a scrub with that might be a more money-saving first try. 0

what about using bicarb to sprinkle on the carpet and leaving it there to absorb odour?

My dog sometimes wees on the fitted mat by the door. I use a combination of bio washing liquid solution and when dry spray with febreeze every day. It will go eventually xI must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.0 -
When my fateful friend decides to relieve herself in terrible places..... I use a mixture of vinegar and bicarb. make a paste and then leave for a wee while then sleush off with hot water and lemon juice. It usually gets rid of the smell.Feb GC: £200 Spent: £190.790
