10 Tips for Keeping Your Litter Tray Clean and Odour-Free

A clean litter tray is essential to keep your cat happy and healthy, and your home clean and comfortable. With a stainless steel litter tray, keeping things fresh has never been easier. Here are 10 tips to maintain a spotless and odour-free litter tray for your feline friend.

Our top tips:

  1. Scoop Daily: Remove clumps and waste at least once a day to prevent odours from building up.

  2. Use the Right Litter: Opt for high-quality litter that naturally wicks away moisture and odours.

  3. Deep Clean Weekly: Wash the tray with warm water and antibacterial soap once a week to eliminate residue and bacteria.

  4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Stick to gentle cleaners to avoid leaving chemical residues that may bother your cat.

  5. Dry Thoroughly: After washing, ensure the tray is completely dry to prevent moisture from causing unpleasant smells.

  6. Stir Your Litter: Stirring or mixing your litter will help to even out litter and aerate it, allowing moisture to dry out.

  7. Use the Right Liner: If you prefer liners, choose biodegradable options that fit well with stainless steel trays.

  8. Choose a Well-Ventilated Area: Place the litter tray in a spot with good airflow to prevent odours from lingering.

  9. Replace Litter Regularly: Change the litter completely every 1-2 weeks, depending on the number of cats using the tray.

  10. Multiple Trays: Having multiple trays helps to disperse waste and in turn reduces odours. As a general rule, have one tray for each cat in the household plus one extra.
