Keeping the cat litter box clean is not as difficult as it seems. In the article, we will talk about the most important secrets of cleaning the cat litter box.
How and when to change
Remove lumps and solid waste. When the filler is not enough, add a new one. Change the contents of the tray completely every one and a half weeks if dust and clumped particles have accumulated in it.
If the owner does not want to clean every week, a visual inspection of the filler can be carried out - if it is not damp and does not emit a smell, then cleaning can wait. The appearance of even a slight smell is a signal that the filler must be changed immediately.
What is the mesh in the cat litter box for
Trays with a grid (mesh) are designed so that the cat does not come into contact with the contents of the tray - urine, feces and litter. These trays can be used with or without filling. Nevertheless, in the latter case, the tray must be washed every day so that the urine does not smell all over the house and does not dry out.
How not to wash the cat tray
Some homemakers, because of their excessive love for sterility, may discourage the cat from going to the toilet. They wash the tray with various powders or detergents, and even more often with bleach, which is dangerous for cat health: chlorine vapor is poisonous and can cause poisoning or even lead to death of the animal.
