KOFOHO Cat Litter Deodorizer, with Baking Soda, 20 oz 1

Product Information

The non-toxic power of activated charcoal in Purina Tidy Cats Naturally Strong Unscented Cat Litter absorbs the odor-causing bacteria found in a litter box. Arm & Hammer’s boxes are something to be desired. They have large holes in the top that allow the powder to flow through unrestricted, so it can be tough not to use too much at once. For especially bad litter box smells, you may find you have to use a lot of this product to fully eliminate the smell. This proprietary blend should include only cat-safe oils, but without knowing the specific oils used, it’s hard to feel confident about this product. Remember that many essential oils are toxic to cats. The general rule of thumb for indoor cats is to have 1 litter tray per cat, plus one spare (so 3 litter trays if you have 2 cats). Where Should a Litter Tray Go?

Cat litter helps them follow their natural instincts, and do the same when they are living inside our homes. How Many Litter Trays Should I Have? Hepper Litter Additive is the best overall cat litter box deodorizer of the ones we reviewed because it works at eliminating litter box odors rather than covering them up. Nature’s Miracle our choice for budget buys. In spite of its very low price point, it’s still very effective at eliminating odors and extending your litter’s lifespan.

How to Dispose of Cat Litter?

One litter box odor control formula is not enough for longer use. You can always buy two for sustainable use.

This litter box deodorizer from Zero Odor is as odor-free as the name implies. Sort of. While it doesn’t contain any fragrances or perfumes to mask smells, it does issue a temporary “tracer scent.” According to the manufacturer, this temporary scent isn’t for odor elimination but to let you know where you have sprayed. The scent does dissipate in about 30 seconds, and it’s not unpleasant in any way. It actually smells a little like bleach, but the formula doesn’t contain bleach in the ingredient list. A cat litter deodorizer should not be used to replace correct hygiene, however they’re a fantastic way to get your cat litter smelling wonderfully clean and fresh, once all other cleaning is complete. Deodorizers can come either as granules, beads, sprays, or in powder form, with a range of different scents on the market. Alternatively, you can use a scented litter, which also comes in a number of fragrances. However, just be mindful that some cats are more sensitive to new smells than others so may not take to scented deodorizers or litters. As another option, you can go for an unscented deodorizer, which works by neutralising odours. These will be best for cats that are more prone to irritation from strong scents. Choose the best litter deodorizer based on your cat count. Choose a stronger deodorizer for multi-cat households. This is because more cats may litter and smell worse. Fresh from the resealable bag, PrettyLitter Cat Litter resembles sand on a pristine beach. The lightweight litter is made from absorbent silica gel which works differently than traditional clay-based litter. The crystals absorb liquids and odors, so regular scooping of pee clumps isn't required, but daily stirring is recommended. Once you notice that the litter isn't as efficient with absorbing liquid, it's time to fully change the box (every two to four weeks for most). For poop, the crystals clump around, covering the odor and making it easy to scoop out for disposal in the trash. The best way to dispose of cat litter is to scoop it into a biodegradable poop bag, and then place in your normal household bin, or a cat litter bin.Gel beads are another form of litter deodorizer that isn’t sprinkled into the litter box but only a few of these large beads are to be dropped into the box at a time. They don’t create any dust but tend not to be as effective as the other varieties. Our choice for the #1 best overall cat litter deodorizer goes to Hepper Advanced Bio-Enzyme Cat Litter Deodorizer for several reasons. First and foremost, it’s a bio-enzymatic deodorizer. That means it uses natural enzymes to eat up the organic compounds that make cat feces and urine smell, eliminating them and the odors they cause.

Cats are generally very clean animals, and this instinct for hygiene is with them from birth. In the wild, cats will naturally try to bury their waste neatly – usually under sand or dirt. The reason for this is two-fold. Firstly, cats use their urine and faeces to mark their territory, and more submissive cats will bury their waste so that the more dominant cats do not feel challenged. Your cat buries their waste partly as a way to say that he or she recognises you as the dominant cat of the house. The main reason however is to avoid any unwanted attention from potential predators in the wild. Burying their waste hides their smell, and keeps them safe from being discovered. Our best overall choice for cat litter deodorizers goes to Hepper Litter Additive because it’s all-natural, biodegradable, fragrance-free, and works remarkably well. Arm & Hammer Litter Restoring Clary Sage & Mint Scent Cat Litter Box Deodorizing Crystals is our budget option, for its price tag and the essential oils they use that help your cat stay calm.If, no matter what you do, you find your cat’s litter tray still stinks, there could be a few reasons. After a while, ammonia and other chemicals can sometimes seep into the plastic of litter trays, making it difficult to remove lingering odors. It might be time to change the litter tray for something new. Can you get rid of cat litter smell? For the price though, it’s very good. How to Choose the Best Cat Litter Deodorizer For You and Your Cat The downsides of silica cat litter are that similar to clay litter, it isn’t very eco-friendly. There is a heavy environmental cost associated with mining the raw materials, then producing and transporting the final product. It also doesn’t biodegrade, meaning once you dispose of it, it will end up in landfill. Silica is also a known carcinogen when inhaled. Also it can be quite sharp and uncomfortable on your cat’s paws, especially if they have sensitive pads. Wood Deodorizers are great for us but not always so great for our cats. Like we mentioned before, strong perfumes are upsetting to some cats. You or your cat may even have allergies to some of the ingredients. For sensitive owners and cats, try buying the beads instead of dusty powders.
