Cat owners spend millions of dollars a year on products designed to reduce or eliminate litter box odors. Here are some helpful tips:
- The chief odor producer is urine.
- The ammonia-like smell results from the bacterial breakdown of nitrogen containing components in the urine once it’s exposed to air.
- To remove urine smells and stains from carpet, furniture and wood, baking soda and vinegar work well. Enzymatic cleaners can also help.
- Scoop urine and solid waste from the litter box twice a day and replenish as needed.
- Change the litter completely once every week.
- Wash the litter box with a mild detergent once every 2 weeks.
- Keep litter box in a well ventilated area.
- Clumping litter helps trap and reduce odors.
