Follow these steps to an odor free litter box<\/strong><\/em> and home:<\/p>\n Scooping <\/strong>– The number one rule, and the only thing that will keep 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 Washing Your Litter Box<\/strong> – 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 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 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 Cat Urine Odor Eliminator<\/a> in the box to eliminate the odor<\/strong><\/em>, not cover it up.<\/p>\n 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 Location <\/strong>\u2013 Lastly, location of your cats 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 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 cat urine odors<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Remember to pick up Clear the Air\u2019s Cat Urine Odor Eliminator<\/strong><\/em> available at all Petco stores or online<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Your kitty litter box shouldn’t be a battle and Clear the Air would like to share some helpful tips to keeping an odor free litter box.
