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?

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

Are you shitting me?
