No need for harsh carpet cleaner on an area where kids or pets might play. First, take the odour out by dusting baby powder over the surface with a flour sifter and leave over night. Vacuum away the powder in the morning. Then, dip a clean broom into a mixture of 1 gallon of warm water and 1 cup of white vinegar. Brush it onto the rug and let it dry.
