What You Need
Cleaning the litter box may not be anyone's favorite task, but avoiding it will quickly lead to unpleasant odors—and may even encourage your cat to do its business elsewhere. Keeping the box clean is key to keeping your home fresh and your cat happy.
Since cats are particular about their bathroom habits, it's best to have one litter box per cat. When space is limited, be extra consistent about scooping waste daily to prevent accidents outside the box. A litter mat or liner under the box can also help catch stray litter—just remember to shake it out and wash it regularly along with the box.
Urine-soaked litter boxes often need more cleaning power than typical household cleaners provide. Standard products may leave behind stains or only cover odors temporarily, making them harder to remove once they've set in.
Simple Green® Pet Stain & Odor Remover eliminates stains and odors from urine, feces, vomit, scent markings, and more. It's safe for use on both hard and soft surfaces. The formula contains enzymes and bacteria that break down and digest these organic sources, removing the foul odors they create.
