Any new spots should be cleaned with an enzyme cleaner such as Nature's Miracle. Regular rug cleaners don't get out the protein left in urine, and if any protein is left a dog is compelled to go there again. The very act of wetting the rugs made the protein easier for her to smell, odors are transmitted much faster in moist environments rather than dry environments. If you have a "black light" you can see any urine spots, and they will show up a florescent white, yet be invisible to the naked eye. So that's why it's important to use an enzyme cleaner, as it contains special enzymes that actually eat the protein in urine. Once the protein is gone she won't feel "compelled' to pee on the spot. You can buy black lights at Petsmart, and some enzyme cleaners actually come with a black light for those hard to find urine spots. A stray cat came into our house once, and the black light was a life saver, the odor the cat left was strong, but I had no idea where exactly it was coming from. Once I found it, I soaked it with Nature's Miracle several times, and the odor went away.
