Hi there...consider trying Nature's Miracle Just For Cats found worldwide at most pet stores before replacing the rug and padding beneath. It's an enzymatic neutralizer which works by breaking down urine proteins by thoroughly soaking the areas affected and allowing to air dry rather than blotting it back dry. Repeated applications are necessary for heavily soiled areas so that it goes in deep enough into the padding underneath. There's a gallon size for heavy duty odours/stains.

We've tested nearly all enzyme neutralizers available in the marketplace for our exotic cats which have stronger urine than domestic cats and found that Nature's Miracle Just for Cats has always worked the best.

If you can afford to you can have the carpet professionally cleaned. Make sure that you tell them the problem so that they can use an enzymatic cleaner. The enzymes break down the urine. You can also buy enzymatic cleaners and spot clean, but if you do not know exactly where the odor is coming from the overall cleaning is best. If you are the new owner of a home and not renting you may want to replace the carpeting with new carpet or other flooring. When I first moved into my house the carpet had the same issue and my cat started urinating in the place as the previous owners cat. Solved the issued by taking out the carpet and replacing with wood laminate. Good Luck.

I have three cats and had the same problem in my dinning room. My kitty friends decided to use the rug as a 2nd litter box. I tried everything. I mean everything. I ended up the soggy carpet that smelled worse. What I ended up doing was replacing the rug and the pad under the rug. I could also see where urine had soaked into the sub-floor. Do not wash your sub-floor. The OSB will be damaged by water. You can paint over the sub-floor with Kilz paint to seal the urine into the wood. Then re-install the carpet. I would try to recoup some of the costs from the original owner of your home. P.S. yes the cats are still alive, but banned from the dinning room.

I would try sprinkling baking soda on your carpet (it absorbs smells) let it set for about 15 minutes and then vacuum it all up. I'm assuming that you've already had the rug carpet shampooed, but you might want to try renting a Rug Doctor and using their pet odor remover. If that doesn't work, try getting a carpet spray especially aimed towards pet smells. PetSmart, Petco any of those type of places will have it. You might just have to replace the entire carpet, but if you are renting your landlord should be responsible for that.

If it's in the carpeting I'd say your best bet would be to run a rug doctor or other carpet cleaning device over it with some of the cleaning solution. I'd do that and also run a cycle or two of just vinegar water over the carpet, that'll help stop the odor. You may just have to replace the carpeting. Maybe you'll get lucky and have hardwood floors.

NO IFS AND OR BUTTS rug has to be replaced... cat urine is not like dog urine - once it is there it is there for the duration... hope and pray that the urine has no seeped into the sub floor... you may want to wash the floor before your new carpets with vinegar/baking soda solution.. good luck

try having the carpet professionally treated. cat urine is the worst of all pets to rid the smell of. their urine is extremely strong as you may already know. if the smell does not come out after the treatment, you may have to replace the carpet and padding.

you will probably have to get rid of the rug and get a new one....And if there is carpet in the area that smells get rid of that too adn get somethng new. Cat pee stays in the carpet until yomu do something about it.

You'll probably have to get it replaced.
If you go to a pet store, there are products that are supposed to get rid of the smell, but from what I understand they only mask it.
