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?

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.
