I have two male neutered cats at my apartment, but one of them (Scar) has a very bad behavior, he urinates, not sprays, urinates in a certain spot.
My brother had scar first for a year, he was indoor/outdoor and then i started taking care of him for the last year. I had him in a previous house where he would urinate at a spot once in a while, but not as bad as he is now.
We moved to an apartment about 2 months ago and since the first week he has been urinating in the main entrance door area (inside, and the apartment is carpet). He uses the litter boxes, but once in a while he goes over there and urinates. We have cleaned the area with white vinegar, dish wash soap and put on top Baking Soda. After a day of this stuff sitting there, it seems that all of the urine came up and attached to the baking soda.. can this be true?
Scar, still took a piss just around the area where we had cleaned. I don't know what to do anymore. We took him to the vet and he is fine, no UTI, no thing, he plays a lot with his brother cat, they get along great, and the other cat (Gris) doesn't have this urinating issue.
The problem is that in the area we live the cats cant be outdoor/indoor, its too dangerous- My brother argues that this behavior is due to him just been inside, but it has been more than a year since he has been out and the urination problem is worse in this apartment..
Do you guys have any ideas of what we can do? This is very very frustrating! I am not sure if he urinates in there because we bring outdoor smells in our shoes and when we step in, he notices it by the door and urinates there.
What is a good cleaner to use before the carpet gets destroyed completely? What things can I do to change this behavior?
Thanks in advance.

. All cats are different and what causes one cat stress in the same household might not even bother the other cat at all.
