Effects of Baking Soda
I have started sprinkling baking soda in the litter boxes to control oder. The cats don't seem to mind it, and it's supposed to be safe. I just wondered if any one has experienced any kind of problems using it. I am afraid of using the kitty litter with oder crystals & it is very ex[ensive. I also have quit using counter wipes & floor cleaners containing harmful chemicals. My babies lick their paws. Any help greatly appreciated...... |

I use Swheat Scoop litter and it works pretty well. I use a steam cleaner to clean floors, and I use vinegar for a lot of cleaning. There's a really good book out there called Clean and Green that lists things that are safe to use for cleaning.

Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is an alkaline substance. I mean, they use it for antacid (although it tastes like hell) among other things, so yeah, it's pretty safe. As far as silica crystal litter and the mixes... I've not had any experience with the mixes, but the pure stuff works pretty well, though you're right - it's pricey. That, and you'll have to scoop it and stir it once per day to keep it from losing effect. -- Dennis Carr - | I may be out of my mind, http://www.dennis.furtopia.org | But I have more fun that way. ------------------------------------+------------------------------- |
