how to clean a large area rug...???

One of the big dogs escaped from upstairs and took a "dump" on my large area rug...

Even after cleaning it...it still smelled...so Barb...Jeff's girlfriend took it out on the porch and sqirted it with the hose and scrubbed it.

She left it out there to dry...

I think some bad kitty's came by and left their mark on it...(nothing smells as bad as a male cat mark)

Last night I brought it in and fill my big bath tub with water and lots of the blue color PineSol....scrubbed it and rinsed and rinsed...then even poured heavily Downy(ed)water over it...

This morning it still smells pretty catty if you get the drift...

Is there any way to neutralize that smell?

If not I'm going to have to toss that rug. I hate to. It's one of those large oriental rugs.
