Ammonia mixed with lemon juice
by the thing that removes pet odors

Spot test a bit of white vinegar - this will serve two purposes: sanitizer and deterrent -- the strong odor will be temporary to the human nose, but the dog will be repelled by the smell long after you can't smell it anymore.
Vinegar
Nature's miracle is a natural enzyme which breaks down the bacteria in urine and thus removes the smell. It even discourages the pet from repeating the same mistake where you've applied it. You can spray it directly on the spot if you know where it is, agitate with a soft brush and then allow it to soak into the backing. You can remove the excess with a wet/dry vac or hop it up onto a terry towel. If you don't know the exact spot, you can load Nature's Miracle into a steam cleaner, too. I've used it on silk, wool and very expensive area rugs, it won't damage either the fiber nor the backing. You can find it at large discounters in the pet department and pet stores, like PetCo and online at Foster's Smith vetrinarian catalog.
