Hydrogen peroxide is a good way to get rid of this smell. But in its pure form it is not so effective, so it is better to make a special solution.

For 15 ml of peroxide, you need to use a full tablespoon of baking soda, add either liquid soap or dishwashing liquid to this to make a foaming agent.

Foam the mixture well and apply it to the dirty surface. Do not wash it immediately, it is better to leave the carpet until the product dries, then wash it off with a damp cloth.

The smell should disappear. You can use carpet cleaner in the same way.

Many people know that washing floors with ammonia helps against various insects and is generally useful for disinfection, but not in the case of removing the smell of cat urine.

The ammonia in ammonia will make the smell even worse, as urine itself contains ammonia compounds. This will attract the cat and it may go to that spot again.

After all the manipulations, you can drip essential oils of citrus or coniferous oils - fir or cedar - onto the carpet. Then the cat will not approach this place anymore.

You can also use tea tree oil, but you should not experiment with other oils, as some of them are toxic to cats.

Iodine is a remedy that is always available at home. It will also help in this case. For one liter of not very hot water, take 15-20 drops of iodine and dissolve in it.

Wipe the carpet with the resulting solution. Remember that if your carpet is white, it is better to use colorless liquids to remove the odor so that the carpet does not get stained or darkened.
