It;s fair to say the litter tray is the bane of every cat owner\u2019s life. While necessary for your furry feline, it can be an unsightly and unwelcome addition to your home. Often smelly and messy it can be hard to keep the litter tray presentable and odour-free for both you and your guests. In this article we uncover some of the best tips for maintaining your cat\u2019s litter tray so that you can avoid all the mess and chaos that is often associated with keeping litter trays in the home.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Follow A Thorough Cleaning Routine\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The most important factor in keeping your cat litter tray clean is to maintain a cleaning routine. From scooping the litter at least once every day, to completely renewing the litter and cleaning the tray once per week. You should be scooping and removing any waste from your litter tray daily to limit odour and to present a clean and hygiene environment for your cat. Meanwhile, replacing the cat litter once per week will ensure bacteria is kept a minimum and the actual tray is kept fresh and clean.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Consider Using A Litter Tray Liner\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

A litter tray liner can make cleaning your cat\u2019s litter tray much easier and more efficient. They are essentially large plastic bags that fit inside the litter tray, making it easy to remove all the litter in one go without having to scrub the bottom of the tray. Plus, they also help to prevent any leaks or spills from getting onto the actual tray itself, making it much easier to maintain a clean and hygienic litter tray.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Choose An Odour Control Cat Litter\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0One of the main issues with litter trays is the smell \u2013 this can quickly become overwhelming and unpleasant for both you and your cat. To combat this, consider using a cat litter that has odour control properties. These litters are specially designed to neutralise and eliminate any smells, leaving your home smelling fresh and clean. Some even have added scents to give your home a pleasant aroma instead of the usual strong cat litter smell.<\/span><\/p>\n

A great way to minimise the odour from your litter tray is to opt for a cat litter that has its own natural scent. Options such as natural <\/span>wood pellet cat litter<\/span><\/a> provides a scent of natural pine which will help combat any unwanted smells from the litter tray.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Wash The Litter Tray Periodically With Detergent & Hot Water\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Once per week you should be removing all litter from the tray and using a combination of hot water and a mild detergent to wipe clean the tray itself. This will help to prevent the spread of bacteria in your home and keep the litter tray fresh. After doing so, you can replenish the litter tray with fresh cat litter ready for a new week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Consider Biodegradable Cat Litter\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

As well as having a natural pine fragrance, wood pellet cat litter is also a biodegradable option which makes cleaning your cat\u2019s litter tray even easier. Easy to dispose of, as well as being healthy for your cat, biodegradable wood pellets are the perfect choice for cat owners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
