Chances are your cat may not enjoy using his\/her sand box because of the strong odor. Clear the Air would like to share with all our cat lovers some tips for keeping your litter box odor free.<\/h3>\n<p>We have provided some helpful cat litter tips:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scooping <\/strong>&#8211; The number one rule, and the only thing that will keep <em><strong>litter box odor <\/strong><\/em>at   bay, is constant cleaning. That means scooping the box out at least   twice a day, removing the solids and liquid clumps if you use clumping   litter.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t use clumping litter, you can use a large solid   metal spoon to lift out the most urine-soaked areas each time you clean   and add litter as needed to replace what is removed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Washing Your Litter Box<\/strong> \u2013 You should also get in the   habit of washing the litter box at least every other week if not  more.\u00a0  Use a mild unscented dish detergent and rinse clean.\u00a0 Remember  to clean  your scooper too.\u00a0 When the box is dry, sprinkle a thin layer  of our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cleartheair.com\/english\/products\/10\/cat_urine_odor_eliminator_14oz\/17.html\" target=\"_blank\">Cat Urine Odor Eliminator<\/a> in the box first.\u00a0 Then add two to three inches of litter.\u00a0 Cats do not   like a deep tray of litter and this allows you to add litter as you   scoop.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Type of Litter <\/strong>\u2013 Some have perfumes and others have   additives to only cover the smell.\u00a0 To a cat, these smells can be   overwhelming and make the box unwelcoming.\u00a0 It is usually a good idea to   get unscented litter and sprinkle our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cleartheair.com\/english\/products\/10\/cat_urine_odor_eliminator_14oz\/17.html\" target=\"_blank\">Cat Urine Odor Eliminator<\/a> in the box to <em><strong>eliminate the odor<\/strong><\/em>, not cover it up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Type of Litter Box<\/strong> \u2013 Using the largest box your home   can accommodate is the best idea.\u00a0 A good rule of thumb is to get a  box  that is at least twice as long as your adult cat and wide as the  cat is  long.\u00a0 Even though a covered box is nicer to look at, most cats  don\u2019t  like them and they also trap odors inside making it unpleasant  for your  pet to enter.\u00a0 Cats claws can get stuck in liners when they  are digging  for a place to relieve themselves and the urine can also  seep into the  liner, trapping odors in the box.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location <\/strong>\u2013 Lastly, location of your cats <em><strong>litter box<\/strong><\/em> is very important to keep your pet happy to relieve himself in the   correct areas.\u00a0 The rule is one litter box per cat plus one.\u00a0 If your   cat is on the third floor of your house and the litter box is in the   basement, he may not decide to make the long trek.\u00a0 It is important to   have the boxes in different locations.\u00a0 Also make sure the box is in a   low traffic area, away from his or her food and in a place that your cat   can easily get in and out of.<\/p>\n<p>These suggestions may take a lot of effort but not only with your cat   be happier but you will as well, not having to put up with <em><strong>cat urine odors<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Remember to pick up Clear the Air\u2019s <em><strong>Cat Urine Odor Eliminator<\/strong><\/em> available at all Petco stores or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cleartheair.com\/english\/products\/10\/cat_urine_odor_eliminator_14oz\/17.html\" target=\"_blank\">online<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t let your litter box odor bring you down.
