I wish I took a before picture .... this was a puke stain from my dog.... it was dark idk if he ate blueberries or what it was! Anyway as soon as I sprayed this it started to lighten. Like I said I wish I took a before pic but I didn't expect it to work so fast! I didn't take the after either but I want to say after 1 application it's about 80% gone ! Urine spot on the bed... like you said it releases the urine smell but they are gone too! The hard surfaces it doesn't seem to have worked as well which is odd to me but I'm going to play around with this. I think it's so worth trying!
