How to Keep Your Cat's Litterbox Smelling Fresh

If you have a cat, then you know that most cats love their litterboxes — and if you don’t have a litterbox, then you probably know first-hand why cats are so fond of them! That said, the one thing nobody loves about litterboxes is the smell. It can be downright unpleasant at times, not to mention embarrassing when visitors come over. Luckily, there are some simple steps you can take to keep your cat’s litterbox smelling fresh! Let’s get started.

1: Clean The Litterbox Regularly 

One of the best ways to keep your cat’s litterbox smelling clean is by cleaning it regularly. This means scooping out any solid waste twice a day and discarding it in the trash. You should also dump the entire contents of the box into the trash every week and thoroughly wash it with warm water and mild soap each time before refilling it with new litter. 

2: Use High-Quality Litter 

Not all litters are created equal; some brands contain smells or additives that just make odors worse! When shopping for cat litter, look for one that is specifically designed to control odor — this will help absorb moisture and trap in any strong odors from urine or feces. You should also look for clumping varieties because these allow for easier cleanup and less waste overall; plus, they create less dust than non-clumping varieties! 

3: Use Odor Neutralizers 

If you find that your cat’s litterbox is still emitting unpleasant odors even after regular cleanings, then using an odor neutralizer may be the answer. These products are specifically designed to break down organic matter and eliminate odors on contact — simply sprinkle a bit on top of the litter after it has been cleaned and voila! No more stinky smells! 

Keeping your cat’s litterbox smelling fresh doesn't have to be difficult. All it takes is regular cleanings, high-quality litter, and an odor neutralizer if necessary — easy peasy! With these tips in mind, you’ll never have to worry about those pesky odors again! So give them a try today and see how much better your home will smell after taking these simple steps!
