Comments

I use cheap disinfectant and boiling hot water and throughly wash it out as well. Then I leave it to dry outside. The cat has 2 trays, so I do one the the other.0

Our old cat loved the smell of bleach. He'd also lick your hand raw if you'd been swimming in a pool with chlorine even if you'd showered afterwards.Make £2026 in 2026

I give it a good soapy wash with fairy liquid. Occasionally I'll use an antibacterial kitchen spray but make sure to give it a good hot rinse afterwards.
The cat doesn't seem to care how I clean it as long as someone does it!Norn Iron Club Member 330

I tried using litter tray liners, but they just seemed to encourage my cats to dig even more, and they ended up shredded and completely uselessI use litter tray liners, then it rarely needs cleaning. Most of the pound or 99p stores sell boxes of them.
I usually rinse my trays out with hot water, and then use an anti-septic spray and kitchen roll to clean them out.
Does anyone else find that seconds after you've cleaned the tray and filled it with clean litter, a cat will jump in and use it?0 -
Mine doesn't use his box very often thankfully, he prefers our garden. But if it does need a clean I use an eco friendly multi-purpose cleaner. No masks though but I do hold my breath for as long as possible.0
