I've had a few fosters who had mistakes on the carpet. I've cleaned other spots with Resolve (which I like a lot), but pee spots need something more. They look OK, but when it rains and the air is very humid, the odor comes back faintly.
I'm thinking that I need to try something dry.
This stuff gets mostly good reviews on Amazon, with the exception (mainly) of sisal-carpet owners. (My carpet is regular cheap wall-to-wall stuff, not sisal, and, fortunately, owning dogs and having a heavy dog population coming through, I chose "earth color" ... kind of a brown/black/green/gray tweed. )
I've been using the Nature's Miracle "Urine Destroyer" spray and been happy with the results. I got my couch from outside on bulk pickup day and the cats had gotten to it first. I sprayed it throughly with that stuff and febreeze. It's been odor free but I don't have any humidity here.
I also used a liberal coating of PetFresh. It's a dry powder. It has a pretty strong fragrance but it fades after a few days. I'm not sure if it would take care of urine by itself but I've had some success with getting odors out of stuff after the normal sprays have failed.
I've used Nature's Miracle with good results as well. It's an enzyme cleaner that breaks down the odorous components. It doesn't use some sort of perfumes to cover up the smell, rather it breaks it down so it doesn't cause odor anymore.
I'm in North Carolina so it's a tad bit humid and warm here.... not as bad as some parts of the US but worse than others
Nature's Miracle. It uses enzymes to "eat" the odor particles. Everything else just masks the smell or tries to cover it up. Soak the area liberally with it and you'll be good.
I also bought a Bissell ProHeat carpet cleaner the last time my pup had Giardia. It works great!

It's probably coming from urine that soaked through the carpet into the pad (or even the floorboards underneath)
If you know precisely where the spot is, I'd soak it--like squishy wet--with the Natures Miracle again and let it work longer and deeper.
You can't physically remove the urine molecules from under the rug with any cleaning method. You've got to treat it with something that will chemically "eat" the urine.
A black light can help find the spot (a black light lightbulb may be hard to find except online?) But under black light, any organic residue will glow.
