Q: Is there a good home remedy or commercial cleaner that will take the odor of cat urine out of Oriental rugs?

A: The best remedy I’ve come across for cat urine odor is an enzyme-based odor remover, available from most pet stores. I’ve found you really need to saturate the stained areas of the rug with it.

I’d test the product in a small area first. If the rug is old or valuable, you might want to call a reputable dealer who specializes in Oriental rugs and ask about having it professionally cleaned by a conservator.
