    I would sprinkle baking soda on them, work it into the nap and then spray enough vinegar on it to get it foaming deep in the nap. This would be my pre-treatment before shampooing.

    The reason this happens is because the stain is in the pad and comes through even after a good cleaning. I would try Odoban! Soak the area well, scrub into pad, blot up as much as you can, place tin foil, towels and then a pile of books and leave overnight. Odoban is at Lowes or Home Depot.

    Whatever cleaning remedy you use just be sure to rinse, rinse and rinse after cleaning the area. I have found that it is the cleansing agent residue that

    continue s to adhere to stains. Pams suggestion sounds like a good one. I would just b sure to blot...not rub..

    The stain is in the pad and you will need to raise it all to the surface. Odoban is good and you need to place Paper towels or towels and place tin foil on top and then weight it down. Let sit up overnight, and repeat if it doesn't clear.

    If you do use some kind of cleaner, spritz the area with vinegar water to help break sown the residual cleaner that is left after the cleaning. Once you are all done spritz again to get it down into the pad to destroy any bacteria that is left. Let it dry and hopefully the stain will stay away and there should be no odor.

    First, you just need to Soak up the urine stain using paper towels or a cotton cloth.

    Second, use of white vinegar and water as a solution (50% vinegar, 50% water).

    And at last, Blot the urine stain using a paper towel, pressing firmly into it.

    If the above tips would not function fully then stop and don't do much research on that, since it cost so much money. Just hire carpet cleaning service provider near you. Thanks!

    Use 1/4 cup of white vinegar, 1 tbsp. of Dawn dish soap, and fill with water. Spray area liberally and let soak for 5-10 minutes and then proceed with blotting with a clean, dry towel until stain is removed. Some carpet stain removal products can be of great benefit for combating many types of carpet stains.
