Does pet urine spray work differently? It instantly removes the colour and it's been on the shelves for years. Did they know the secret? Or does this discovery just mark the formal identification of the specific enzyme?



No, probably not. this enzyme from the bacteria in our gut actually is what makes the colorless precursor into the yellow product.

I can imagine there may be a bacteria that reverses this process. Maybe that’s what’s in the cat spray.
