I am very sorry you recently lost your cat to FIP! I would dismantle the carrier, and soak it as well in hot water and bleach. Make sure to rinse it off thoroughly, and let it dry out in the sun. If you can take the cover off the window perch, I would wash that in the washer with color safe bleach. I'd rent a carpet cleaner or steam cleaner that has a furniture attachment, and use that to clean the cat tree. As for the scratching post, you can try using the carpet cleaner or steam cleaner on it, but if that doesn't work, you may have to throw it away and get a new one.
