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?

Step 1) Get rid of your cat, and the littler box.

Step 2) Vacume everywhere. You’ve heard that glitter is the herpies of the art world. Well, vacume like you’re about to go on the hottest of dates, and you don’t want your date to realise that your apartment has herpies. Ok, I lost track of the analogy almost immediately, but you get the point.

Step 3) Fabreeze. Yeah, turns out it’s not just perfume in a bottle. I found out you can even buy non-scented fabreeze, which was the original, and it just neutralizes the scents in the air. It didn’t sell well, so they added the perfumes. But it still neutralizes the odors. So once the perfume scent fades, you’re still left with an apartment with less odor. A tactic I wish my neighbors would use. I swear at this point they’re creating new foods to be the selliest to cook.

Here, have a raw fish, thats somehow cooking, mixed with old cheese, cigar smoke, grandpa farts, and skunk spray side dipping sauce.

Anyways, my point is, if you have a cat, your home will smell like you have a cat. That’s just part of having a cat. Just like waking up every day, and having a cats asshole in your face as you wake up. No matter how many times you push her cat butt away and say “no cat butt!”, they’ll always start your day with a cat butt in your face.

Have a cat, or have a home without cat smell. Your choice.

Try fresh step crystals. It lasts a month and doesn’t smell. I’ve had up to 9 cats before, I tried so many solutions. Scoop the poop every couple of days, no problem

I assume you’re referring to the clay litter? You probably just want an air purifier. You will have litter smell and dust for a short time is all. The one problem, is that the fine clay dust will make mincemeat out of most purifiers. You’ll want a good one with easily replaceable filters or easy to clean filters. If they’re replaceable, cost is also a factor. Or, you can get two furnace filters and rubber band it onto either side of a box fan and use a smart plug to run it now and then.

We use swheat scoop and it is pretty neutral and if you clean it regularly, doesn’t smell much

This is what we are using for our six cats. Unless there was a particularly potent turd dropped there is very little odor. After each cleaning we top the litter with arm and hammer odor powder (I forget exactly what it is called, but it is an orange box and made for deodorizing litter boxes)
