Haven't used one of those things but we have had good luck just using borax soap. Sprinkle some around the area you suspect the smell is coming from. Let it sit then vacuum it up. A friend of ours had a black tank leak (it cracked) and sewage in the basement. After the mess was cleaned up, using mostly borax and water, they spread the dry borax on the carpet and let it sit. The smell went away pretty fast and you can't tell there was ever a leak there.
