Hi!
So curious if anyone has any tips regarding this. We have our cat litter in the washroom of the house. The current cat sand we use has a distinct smell. While we are experimenting with different types of sand, they all, so far, have some sort of smell to them. Obviously it will also smell extra bad whenever the cats use the litter box. While we do remove the litter as soon as possible, we are curious if there are ways to at least mask the smell of the sand with something else… Anyone got any tips?
Use unscented, clumping, cat litter. Good unscented cat litter doesn’t really smell like much of anything.
Run your bathroom fan, it will suck clean air from your house into the bathroom and flush it out so that even as you approach the bathroom youl be smelling air from the rest of the house and bad odours won’t build up.
Scoop the soiled, clumped litter into a green bin, and then tie the bag closed between scoopings.
Avoid “light weight” litter, that just means it’s lots of fine particles that are more likely to fly around.
Also, you have cat. You will never get rid of the smell completely. In fact, you are discovering why the U-trap pipe was invented. It traps a small amount of clean water in the U which prevents sewer gas from coming up out of the toilet. Anyway this person’s got a pretty good handle on the situation. Just remember to wash your hands when you’re done.
From wikipedia
It was invented by Alexander Cumming in 1775 but became known as the U-bend following the introduction of the U-shaped trap by Thomas Crapper in 1880
