Ever since Arwin developed her peeing problem, I constantly think I smell urine. Today I picked up a black light and used it in my great room. Good Lord, what a mess! Spots everywhere. I'm certain none of what I saw was urine -- most of it is probably juice and food spills from my kids. I put my nose right down to everything that glowed and didn't pick up a smell from any one of them. Interestingly, some things glowed green and some glowed purple. Without the black light, none of them are visible to the naked eye.

Now, I'm a pretty clean person, but all this has me a little freaked out. Should I be hitting all of these spots with Nature's Miracle or some other enzymatic cleaner "just in case"? Or am I over reacting?

The purple glow could also be detergent (you said it was a laundry room?)

I have a pair of jeans I love to wear out and I constantly wear them to a particular club with black lights, where you can see that my (perfectly clean) jeans, have detergent stains that glow very brightly.
