Cleaning Out And Scrubbing The Litter Box

vet Newmarket ON

Should your cat’s litter box require more than just a simple wash, below is a list of several items you might have to have handy:

●Disposable gloves

●A scrub brush, sponge, or cleaning rag that is specifically set aside for use with your pet’s litter box and nothing else

●Dust mask

If you have a compromised immune system or are currently pregnant, always wear your gloves whenever you clean the litter box.  Also, wash your arms and hands thoroughly always after you finish the job.

After cleaning the box, use a cleaning towel or some paper towels to dry it thoroughly and sprinkle some baking soda on the bottom.

Scooping Your Pet’s Litter Box Often

With the help of litter scoops that have holes closely set, clean out the litter once daily, at the very least, scooping out clumps.  If you have multiple cats, you may have to do this more often.

To keep the box’s smell under control after cleaning, try adding litter as a replacement for what was removed during cleaning.  You can also try sprinkling some baking soda, just a small quantity, into the litter, and then using your litter scoop, turning the newly freshened litter.

Frequent changes in your pet’s potty habits should prompt a call to your vet Newmarket, ON.
