Answers:
Call your local Pet store's and ask if they carry Nature's Miracle. It will take any smell out of anything! Most pet stores carry it. It's a wonderful, fabric safe enzyme that really works! It will positively solve your problem. Follow bottle directions.
Vinegar will eliminate the odor. I use a spray bottle and spritz the carpet with it when my dog has an accident. Works pretty well.
Go to Home Depot and get Folex spot carpet cleaner and follow the directions. I would also suggest looking elsewhere in the room as it sounds as if the "rugrat" has not revealed all of the piddling places in the room. Even cleaning it once with water should have alleviated part of the smell.
If you could get to a tesco in time:
Oxy-action stuff works great
if not, breeze should do fine.
Buy some baking soda powder and use it to scrub the mess.
White vinegar is an excellent odour neutraliser. Dilute it 50/50 with water and then spray and dab the affected area. I promise it works.
try a pet shop for pet stain and oder remover, they are fab
Shaving foam is supposed to be quite good (scrub it in then wash out), but the WHITE vinegar or baking soda's a good bet.
All of the above ingredients are also non-toxic too.
you have lots of good answers here, but unfortunately that doesn't solve the real issue. Why did your son do that?
Try cleaning the area with a colourless washing up liquid
5mls in a cup full of lukewarm water then soak up as much as you can with a clean towel.Next blot the area with one part white vinegar to two parts water.Again use towel to soak up as much as possible cover area with several towels and something heavy on them,and allow area to dry for at least six hours!
If this fails get a professional to help you .Leave the windows open and air the room too and buy one of those plug in fresheners!
Good luck
chuck it out and buy a new one
vinegar. it neutralizes the smell.
Try pouring vinegar directly into the area and then blot up with a towel. I just had the same problem with my little poogie, but I got out my carpet cleaner and I couldn't even count how many times I went over the area where he tinkled. But as soon as the carpet dried, I ran my hand over the spot and my hand smelled like urine still. So, I had heard once that vinegar will get the odor out, so I doused it with the vinegar and blotted it up and when it dried my hand didn't come back smelling like dog tinkle..but I still washed my hands afterwords :)
Use some vinegar,folowed by some dab of eucalyptus based oi or simply use dettol..
Also get some febreeze .
There is a product I use all the time called Oda Ban. It will get rid of the oder and it is a good disinfectant. Some hospitals uses this product and I use Oda Ban in my own home.
try bicarbonate of soda. sprinkle it on the area, and leave overnight. Then vacuum it up. Might need several goes. Another thing is either Febreze or Oust. Anything else will just mask it for a while.
Look in your telephone directory for "janitorial suppliers" most of these will sell to the public in 1 litre containers. But the main problem is animals frequently use the same place, so the rug-rat probably has been more than once. So you need to lift the carpet and treat the underside, also replace the underlay.
In one very bad situation I had to replace a section of floorboard. The only sure way to know you have got the urine out is to use a ultraviolet light - sometimes called black light - source in a darkened room (all urine fluoresces under ultraviolet).
Failing that call in one of these companies, they are the best:-
Rainbow International
Servicemaster
ChemDry
Vinegar or Bicarbonate of Soda.
try a solution of vinigar ann not too much water or 1001 carpet cleaner with some zora flora or dettol disinfectant let it dry then hoover it out hope it helps pat.
It sounds like the smell is actually in the sub-floor. You need to pull back the carpet and seal the sub-floor with some latex paint. This will seal the plywood sub-floor and prevent the odor from leaching back into the carpet.
