Things You'll Need
- Litter box scoop
- Container
- Liquid dish soap
- Sponge or cloth
- Paper towel
- Litter box deodorizer or baking soda
Instructions
Scoop soiled litter and waste material at least once per day (more often if you have more than one cat). Store the scooped material in a container with a secure lid, such as an empty cat litter pail, until you are able to throw the used litter away. Refresh the box with small amounts of clean litter daily.
Replace the litter once every week (or every two weeks for clumping litter). Wash the litter box with a small amount of liquid dish soap and a sponge or rag. Dry the box with paper towels before adding new litter.
Add a small amount of commercial litter box deodorizer or baking soda after cleaning. Use the scoop to make sure the deodorizer is well-mixed with the litter.
