PausitoRoutine BuilderHow often should you change all the cat litter?
Change all the cat litter at least once a week and wash the tray at the same time. Non-clumping litter often needs changing after a few days.
Even if you scoop daily, traces of urine and bacteria stay in the litter. A weekly change with a wash of the tray prevents smells and bacterial growth. Use water and a mild, unscented soap, because cats dislike strong smells.
- Throw away all the litter
- Wash the tray with warm water and mild, unscented soap
- Let it dry properly
- Fill it with a layer of fresh litter
