Smelly Litter Box? 6 Practical Odor-Control Tips
If your home smells like cats, the litter box is usually the first place to check. Odor control is not about covering smells with perfume; it is about removing waste and moisture quickly.
6 Tips That Work
Scoop at least once a day, and ideally morning and night. Use a litter with enough clumping and odor control for your home. Prepare enough litter boxes, especially for multiple cats. Replace all litter and wash the box regularly. Keep the box in a ventilated but calm place. Use charcoal or deodorizing powder only as support, not as a substitute for cleaning.
