Litter Box Cleaning Session

Yesterday I cleaned the sides of the boxes while I was digging out the litter. If I spray the sides with some cleaner(I used clorox spray yesterday, but don't recommend it if there are cats snooping around because it is not good for cats at all), then once sprayed, clean out the box and scrape dirty areas on the sides while they are wet, usually they soften up pretty fast and after going over them with a paper towel, they end up being pretty clean and fresher. I use either kids and pets(don't leave them wet, wipe them dry as you go), or lysol spray(diluted blue formula). I dont recommend cleaning them if there are cats lurking about because if they get that stuff on their feet they may get pretty sick. I wipe the sides of mine with a paper towel or two as I go.

I have a multi cat family so I have a few boxes to clean. Cats need 2 boxes per cat, ideally. They usually pee in one and poo in another one. I don't have the room for 2 per cat, but I have as many as I can.

They love it when the box is clean, and I try to keep up with them. Having more litter boxes does not make cleaning them a terribly urgent matter because they have more options with more boxes and fill them up with their litter slower when there are more boxes.

I usually sprinkle baking soda either in the top up litter that I put on top of the cleaned boxes or sprinkle it on the top and work it in some.

When I finish cleaning the boxes, I smooth and level all of the litter so that the cats realize that they are clean with no buried problem areas.

I also use several automatic litter boxes, the infamous litter maids. I have a fancy one and two standard units. I have modified mine so that the motors will not burn out and they have way less maintenance issues. You can read more here
