Cleaning A Kitty Litter Box

Daily scooping of your cat’s litter box is important.  But aside from that, regular thorough cleaning of your cat’s litter box in its entirety is also a must.

The ideal way to wash your kitty’s litter box would be to submerge the box then let it soak for several minutes under some hot water.  Do this once every week at least.  Cleaning chemicals or detergents are not necessary because the hot water should accomplish the task.  If there is any remaining “dirt” along the box’s bottom and interior sides, a small quantity of liquid dishwashing soap mixed in with the water might help loosen that, aside from refreshing your pet’s litter box without having to leave behind any toxic residue.

Try not to use cleaning products that contain bleach, ammonia, or other kinds of caustic components.  Should you wish to take the extra step, you may use a small quantity of vinegar or hydrogen peroxide mixed in with the water to get rid of smells or bacteria.

Persistent litter box issues should warrant an appointment with your animal hospital Newmarket, ON to make sure that your pet’s behavior is not caused by an underlying health issue.
