Hi
First thing if it is still wet dab area with towels to absorb as much as possible.
If the urine stain is brown then it is a sticky residue problem. I would recommend using a wet vac and slowly pouring water on the spot and vacuum it up at the same time, to remove the sticky residue. If the stain comes back in a few days you may have to do this a few times. If the stain is still visible than use a little carpet spotter on it.
If it has gone yellow then it is a PH problem. You can try using vinegar (one part vinegar to five parts water) to see if you can remove the stain. Sometime urine stains cannot be removed.
The main reason for stains to resurface is the soap that you leave behind. The last step would be to flush the spot with water.

There's a wealth of fresh carpet in your closets. When you have a stain that won't go away, but it out, along with the pad below (also check the floor underneath, that may need cleaning too) then go to the closet and cut out a patch. Use double sided tape to set the new piece into place and put the stain sucker into the closet......obviously take your patch from a corner that isn't often seen.

If it's on carpet, I'd recommend using Folex on it. If that doesn't work (it rarely doesn't) trying using thieves oil cleaner on it. (it's a little pricey, but it literally does anything!) $28.29 in the USA for 16 fl oz.

Sounds like it soaked into the padding and wood underneath! You will probably have to rip up wood, pad, and carpet and put all new down! SORRY!!

I agree. You will have to replace it all.
