Instructions

    • 1

      Shred a whole bunch of newspaper into thin strips

    • 2

      Soak the newspaper in warm water mixed with a few squirts of gentle, biodegradable dish soap. You wont be able to get the newspaper completely clean but it will take alot of the ink out.

    • 3

      Drain the water (an old colander works wonders) and repeat the soaking process minus the soap.

    • 4

      Sprinkle baking soda liberally on the wet paper. Knead it in to the mixture (you might want to wear gloves to avoid getting ink on your hands).

    • 5

      Squeeze the remaining moisture out until it's as dry as you can get it.

    • 6

      Crumble over a screen and leave to dry (it takes a few days).

    • 7

      Once it's dry, I put about an inch and a half to two inches of the paper crumbles in the litter box, scoop solids daily and change it once a week.
