You should remove faeces and urine from the litter box several times a day. This is easiest and quickest with a slotted scoop (for use with clumping litter) or a regular non-slotted scoop (for non-clumping litter). Depending on the type of litter, the entire litter box should be cleaned to prevent unpleasant odours. Remove all of the litter and dispose of it in the household waste. Then clean the litter box with hot water and, if necessary, a very small amount of cleaning agent. Once dry, add new litter. Caution: the use of strong-smelling cleaners can cause the cat to stop using the litter box because it is bothered by the smell. Learn more now!
