Can flies "clean" up something as they eat?
I just got a used tent. I pulled it out of the bag and it smelled like cat urine. So I decided to do a throrough cleaning inside and out. Mopped, soaked, and sprayed it off. I put it out to dry and I noticed that flies were swarming around the part where I actually saw a little dried cat urine. I decided to not do anything about it, thinking it might be eating the leftover protiens (or whatever makes cat pee stink so badly). Now at the end of the day, there is noticeably less odor. Could it be because the flies were getting rid of the matter left behind by the urine? I even rototated the tent at one point and the flies followed their spot.
Point taken, however I am willing to bet cat urine is one of the hardest things to get rid of-wouldn't it be easier to clean up after the fly than the cat?. I was planning on scrubbing it down one more time before using it anyway.

You're going to replace dried urine with fly feces and larvae. Not a great idea. Just hose it and scrub it. It's unlikely they are removing much matter anyway. The smell is probably reduced due to airing out.
Would you fill your bedroom with flies to clean it for you if it smelled like urine?
