The ideal time to your litter box is clean, if you need to empty the trash. the empty box can be rinsed well in your garden or in a sink or tub. Most kitchen sinks are too small for sandboxes, and is not a good idea, litter in the area where food and washing dishes prepared to clean. Use a mild detergent and very hot water. The hotter the water, the odor-causing bacteria are killed. Be careful with the detergent you use, however.
Certain smells - like citrus - repel cats, and do not want your cat be a reason not to use the box. I personally use lavender scent soap, dishwashing detergent, but it works well, too. Do not use pine cleaner, ammonia or bleach; they are toxic to cats and ammonia the worst smell of urine can detect.
Rinse well in order not to leave Box detergent residue in the box. the litter drying air is ideal, but if you need a box, and your cat to use it, which could lead to problems. When dry air can not, paper towels used to clean the water. Do not forget to dry the outside and the bottom of the box in order to.
If the litter box is full, first a layer of baking soda in the bottom of the box to add spraying the trash. I recommend that the litter in the long run for maximum efficiency is approximately three inches deep, because the lumps on the bottom of the box will not stick.
