It seems essentially septic levels of cat piss or something has been collecting under carpet and wet vac brought it up instead of taking it out. The level of piss smell in this house is actually scary right now. It may literally be condemned.

I do not have the option of moving out without serious financial damage. We’re talking like 40-50k in damage to move. I do not have the ability to replace the carpet without simply fully replacing it again within a year as the floor foot print will change because of walls moving. I have no where to put the heavy things currently sitting on the carpet to have someone replace it.

give it a half hour to hour to do it's thing, then rug doctor.

You leave that nature's miracle shit on a lot longer than 1/2 an hour. You want to cover it with a plastic sheet for 48 hours so it doesn't dry out, then remove the sheet and give it two weeks to dry. It takes a long time to break down the cat piss, but it works.

I'm strictly going from the standpoint of a large room, and a rug doctor on the rental clock. If given a classroom, animal staging area, or household room to do with my equipment and chemicals, I'd let that shit for an entire day, and depending on severity, it may turn into a week long project of enzyme soaking, diversey prespray, and waxie 630 to deodorize after the fact.

I would rug doctor the shit out of it, return the rental, and do the nature's miracle last. That's the way to go. No need to rug doctor the nature's miracle.

I'll respectfully disagree. I like NM, but use Diversey/Waxie products instead because I've had issues with NM leaving a soapy film afterwards. I had one situation at a preschool where they used it to clean child urine stains, and we would up having to shampoo 6 times to get all the residue from over use, and letting it soak too long. I've also had issues with discoloration on some surfaces. As I said: Not a miracle, but for a consumer, it's good shit. Just use accordingly.
