Tips:
- Always test the bleach solution on a small area before using it on the entire litter pan. This will help to ensure that the solution doesn't damage the pan.
- Be sure to rinse the litter pan thoroughly after using bleach or baking soda. Residual chemicals can be harmful to cats.
- If you have a cat that is sensitive to chemicals, you can use vinegar instead of bleach to sanitize the litter pan.
- Clean litter can help prevent the spread of bacteria and disease in your home. Be sure to clean the litter pan regularly, and replace the litter as needed.
