How to keep your cat's litter box fresh and odorless

There is no doubt that I am the cutest, smartest ginger cat among all other cats and kittens in the whole world. Momma says so. And like other kittens and cats, I pee and poop too. Sometimes I pee and poop as much and often as I drink and eat. That is 24/7!

Momma used to call me “Stinky Sintra” because well, my litter box stank. So to deodorize my litter box, Human had to clean it as often as possible and sprinkle some baking soda into the litter box. Let me show you how Momma keeps my litter box fresh and (almost) odorless:

What Momma needs:

A Litter Box and Scoop
Some Clumping Cat Litter (depending on your cat’s size)
5 tablespoons of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda

How Momma does it:

1. Wash and dry the litter box. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons baking soda into the litter box.
2. Pour the first half (of the whole amount of cat litter that you usually do) into the litter box.
3. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons baking soda onto the first half of the cat litter.
4. Pour the second half of the cat litter into the litter box.
5. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon baking soda onto the second half of the cat litter.
6. Place the litter box in a well-ventilated spot in the house.

Momma says that baking soda is safe for cats – not to mention that it also helps prevent the litter clumps from sticking to the bottom of the litter box, which makes cleaning up your cat’s litter box a lot easier. Happy ~~pooping~~ scooping!

Did you know that Arm & Hammer has also produced an exclusive, powerful formula with odor neutralizers and moisture-activated baking soda crystals, which eliminates both urine and feces odors on contact? This formula has 10 to 20% more odor eliminators, compared to their regular formula, is 99% dust-free, and is perfect for multi-cat homes. Their products include:
