utter mundana
Dog pees on my bedroom carpet far more often than I would like, and I know one reason she's doing it there is because she's done it before.
Other aspects of training aside, a necessary step is to clean the carpet.
I don't own a carpet shampooer, and haven't a car, such that renting a shampooer is likely to be impractical, even supposing I knew where to rent one.
Is it worth buying one of those very small cheap ones, or can one achieve the same effect with a scrubbing brush and a bucket of water? I really have no idea about this, and I know that some of you are both Pet and Household Experts. Your advice would be appreciated.

If you are, you could let it dry completely, then try a carpet spot-cleaner. Just water and a scrubbrush won't get the job done, you'll only soak the carpet and the carpet pad with water and diluted wee. (The major selling point of a carpet cleaning machine is that it sucks the liquids back out again.)
If you're not using an enzyme cleaner designed to deal with such things, that'd be my first recommendation -- and later on, hire a service to come in and clean the carpet properly.
