Mopping Cat Room with potties
In my furnace room, I have four cat litters. The floor is tiled.
Today, I will be mopping it with a solution of one cup of vinegar in a gallon of hot water. After that, I will mop with Mop n' Glo. Is there a better way to clean the floor that you have used? I clean the litter boxes twice weekly. It may be that one or more of our four cats (Scrap, Smoke, Freddie and Mystic) has very strong urine. If so, has it been your experience that Arm and Hammer Litter Deodorant does a good job? Or is there another, better product? Thanks. |

After that, I will mop with Mop n' Glo. when i worked at the animal rescue, we used a diluted bleach solution, as long as there was no contact with the animals until the floor dried. you'd have to have exterior air exhaust and shutdown the furnace so the fumes weren't sent all over the house.

Thanks. i buy the large bag of A&H baking soda at costco and add a couple of cups to the litter (about 15lbs at a time in a box). it seems to do a good job at odor control, and is really cheap. is the A&H litter deodorant the same thing in a fancier package at a higher cost? |

Thanks. To stop strong odors, I would scoop the boxes every time you walk by the boxes, but at least once a day. That doesn't mean you have to clean all the boxes every time, just scoop clumps out. It also helps you to figure out if one of your cat urinates outside the boxes. Then do your major cleaning on your regular schedule. I noticed this way that my cats also have a schedule to go to the box. Knowing that, you can anticipate the odor and scoop the clump out immediately. If you put them in an airtight box, you can dump it all into the trashcan on trash day. |
