I haven't read this entire thread but places where I cleaned areas of the carpet with something other than carpet cleaner (like, Dawn detergent), show up. So many areas showed up with the black light, it was pretty much useless.

HUNDREDS of glowing areas on carpet; can Black light detect more than urine?

Anything white glows under a black light, so there will be a lot of glowing flecks/specks.
Most people, when looking for where a cat has sprayed, are looking for something that includes a SPLOTCH. That makes it fairly easy for most people to find cat urine under a black light. Drinks and cleaners usually show up white/glowing; urine shows up as a deep yellow that looks almost orange or greenish.

Yes - everything shows up under a black light, including where you have cleaned anything on the carpet. It can be confusing. A cat marking or spraying urine will use the walls, sides of couches, doors, etc. So checking with the black light in those areas will tell a person if their cat is marking. It is always a surprise when you turn off the lights at night and turn on your black light
Everything shows up!!!
Welcome to the forums, Kittylover!
Not to worry because those specks and flecks that show up on your black light are not cat urine! It only means you need to vacuum. :lol3: Everything will show up under a black light on the floors not just cat urine spots.
