When our bodies metabolize protein they produce ammonia which is toxic to us, so our liver combines it into urea which is ~20X less toxic in our bloodstream (fish don’t do this because they can always pee the ammonia out their gills)
Urea of course breaks down into ammonia, which is alkaline and polar. It does a decent job of dissolving fat and grease.
Its also why i buy unscented ammonia and add about a cup or so to my laundry (especially for bedding) to help extract even more oils from it. It seems to work quite well and it’s cheap.

But then it should be communal. OUR pee, to make the tankies happy.

The hammer, the sickle, and the communal pee jug!
