So you see, the bacteria itself is not what causes the problem when cleaning cat urine, it's the uric acid. Uric acid has within it crystals and salts. It is these crystals and salts which are visible and pungent to the nose long after the cat has actually peed. Any non-purpose cat urine cleaner, i.e. household soaps and detergents simply activate and reactivate the crystals with their moisture. In fact any moisture will do the same with or without a cleansing agent, so you can see now why those cat urine smells need a cat urine cleaner to properly tackle the job.
