    What do you mean by tried everything? There is no point in us recommending products that you have already tried. Have you run a search on the whole of MSE? I am sure urine stains has come up many times in relation to both children and pets.

    You can hire a Rugmaster carpet cleaning machine from most Homebase and Morrison stores. It costs £20 for 24 hours, plus about £20 for the carpet shampoo and they are very easy to use. I find them really effective at removing most stains...and if you have never shampooed your carpets before I can guarantee you will be shocked by the amount of dirt lifted out.
    The problem with trying to clean a stain in isolation is that the scrubbed piece of carpet ends up looking paler ( cleaner!! ) than the surrounding area and thus stands out more.
