What characteristic of enzyme deodorants makes them particularly effective against urine odors?

Enzyme deodorants are particularly effective against urine odors because they digest organic materials. Enzymes are biological catalysts that break down complex organic substances into simpler, less odorous components. In the context of urine odors, these enzymes break down urea, uric acid, and other organic compounds found in urine. By digesting these organic materials, enzyme deodorants eliminate the source of the odor rather than merely masking it. This biochemical action leads to a more permanent solution for odor control compared to other methods that might only temporarily cover the smell. This characteristic makes enzyme deodorants particularly valuable for effective odor management in environments affected by urine.
