First of all you need to be able to find exactly where it is... your gonna need one of these :
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271179427568?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649  ;D

Then i would saturate the area using MPower 1:120 and leave to dwell for a good 20 mins... rinse out and mist over with a light spray of MPower.
Leave to dry out...

Like all of us,problems with urine stains seem never ending.
I recall what seems `many moons`ago now a Mr. Malcome
Walsh recommended to myself while we were at a NCCA
Conference weekend suggest using a hyperdermic needle
And syringe and inject into to the I assume warp / weft strands
That are affected.Does anyone else recall this method.
Don`t what to do about tufted ? ?
It seemed plausible at the time,don`t know about practicle.
Any replies most welcome.

Chemspec Urine Contamination Treatment. Nothing else will beat it.

Let it dwell for 20 minutes atleast depending on how bad it is.

If the smell is bad and your able to lift the carpet, it'll be worth replacing section of underlay. I have serval types of underlay in my possestion for this exact purpose.

While your there, apply the UCT to the back of the carpet.

Charge a premium for this service.

Some years ago Solutions used to have a product called Solubac, never had a call back when having used it. Blackie won't believe me but yes it did work.
The product might have been superseeded now with something else.
Remember: Do both sides of effected carpet area, cut and chuck underlay from area. if it's near edges check walls because if it's got into the plaster board then that's a cut out job too, if it's got into the wood skirtings then that too.

Here's another method to consider using depending upon local circumstances:

     "your favourite supplier's " urine treatment
      dwell
     "flood" effected area with rinse agent
      use a water-claw to extract

Probable especially useful if the problem area is more in the middle of the room and when trying to improve the underlay without lifting the carpet, and/or you don't have access to a syringe.

Roger,I can`t visualise how to inject into the yarns / strands etc.
The decontaminant fluid to kill the bacteria has got to in theory
And in practise run along and inside each strand where the urine
Is.Also as Neil Williams has pointed out,floorboards,plasterboards
Skirting boards all will have to be replaced.Sometimes in reallity,
Well possibly not but floor joists will have been affected also.I
Once recall going onto a job whereby I put a pair of washing up
Gloves on and squeezed the affected carpet , it was saturated in
An Alsasian dogs urine.

P.S.   As I recall I `walked`away from that one I think.

You can get a uv light from Unger for twenty quid do it at night .main prob with cat pee is it always Tom that marks it post , thus spraying up was door frames ,skirting , so most of the time it's these areas you need check ,should have said the UVA light shows up urine stain up as white drop lets ,just. Clean al these areas with bleach don't get any on carpets though , it's very important you check these areas this is often left ,and you get calls to reclean the carpet , when its actually the spray up the walls etc,urine if strong will ,and does leave stain on carpets ,some times you improve it but never promise  that you can remove it I've never never found anything to remove yellowing ,specialy old stains

Hi Lewis

Obviously there are degrees of urine contamination. (One-off accident by puppy v big dog peeing in one corner every day, for example.)

Also when assessing the situation you are also considering the trade -off between what you would do in theory if cost were no objective and then factoring in the level of soiling/age of carpet/where the problem is/client's expectations and budget.

As previously stated it also depends where in the room the problem is. Using a syringe isn't necessarily the ideal but it is one more part of our armoury.

I happen to use not a medical syringe but a turkey baster! It comes with a needle attachment to allow you to baste into the meet of the bird but is excellent for getting a reasonable amount of urine neutraliser into the back of the carpet/underlay fairly easily and quickly.

Not neccessarily ideal but better than nothing depending upon what scenario you encounter.

Does this answer help?

Thanks Roger,so you’ve actually used some method of
Injecting into the carpet backing,to 100 percent effect?
You’re the only person I know who has other than Malcome
Walsh.
No other members are forthcoming so,well,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :)
It is the bank holiday,people have better things to do with
Their social time  :) ;) :D ;D

Ah Lewis

The $64,000 question! "100% effective"

Well, Once it's dry it tends not to smell anyway. Working on the basis of not being called back and then the client booking me in for work at a later date I must be doing something right/managing expectations correctly.

chemspec urine cont works better than anything else ive tried
dont want to sound negative but how much time do you want to spend with injections etc,will the customer pay for that kind of service? then the next day they ring and say they can still smell it???
so you go back repeat the process,am i talking out my preverbial or as anyone else had that scenario,not just with urine with other problem stains as well
