Tips for getting rid of cat sand/litter smell?

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?

We use a “flushable” clumping corn-based litter. We don’t actually flush the clumps of litter, that’s a recipe for disaster. But it does mean I can scoop poops directly into the toilet and flush them. (My cat never got the memo on burying poops, but she does warn us when she’s going to go, so I can get them right away.) I scoop the clumps into those little green dogpoop bags, and put those in a lidded can with a liner. It’s not perfect but it’s not bad. We also discovered our bathroom vent fan just went into the walls, so we had a contractor run a proper vent duct to the outside, made showering in there much better as well.

We use a pure-clay, non-clumping litter for that reason. I hate the chemical smell of the clumping litters. I’ve also heard really great things about wood pellets.

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.

There are for sure brands that are more perfumed than others, and there are some that are unscented. Of course, the scent is there too mask the pee smell. We use scoop away, which is scented, but not heavily so.

We have a covered litterbox with a little charcoal filter in the lid, and that helps some. Also, since we have dogs who like to look for cat poo roca, we have ours in a closet with the sliding door open just enough for the cat, and that helps too.
