12 best cleaning litter boxes
Cleaning a litter box is an essential task for cat owners to maintain a clean and odor-free environment for both the cat and the household. Here's what you should know about cleaning litter boxes:
Materials Needed:
- Disposable gloves (optional)
- Scoop or litter scoop
- Plastic bags or disposable liners (for certain litter boxes)
- Mild, unscented cat litter
- Soap, water, and a scrubbing brush
- Towels or paper towels
- Vinegar or pet-safe enzymatic cleaner (optional)
Cleaning Steps:
Wear Disposable Gloves (Optional): If you prefer, wear disposable gloves to protect your hands from coming into direct contact with the litter and waste.
Empty the Box: Begin by emptying the litter box. Depending on the type of litter box you have, you may need to remove a lid or cover. If you use disposable liners, lift out the liner and tie it off for disposal. For standard litter boxes without liners, scoop out the soiled litter and waste.
Scoop Waste: Use a litter scoop to remove clumps of soiled litter and solid waste. A litter scoop is designed to sift through the litter, leaving clean litter behind. Dispose of the waste in a plastic bag.
Scrub and Clean: Remove any remaining litter particles and residue from the box by scrubbing it with soap and water. Use a scrubbing brush to clean the interior surfaces thoroughly. Rinse the box with clean water to remove any soap residue.
Dry the Box: Towel dry the litter box or let it air dry completely before refilling it with fresh litter.
Refill with Fresh Litter: Add a sufficient amount of fresh, unscented cat litter to the box. The depth of the litter should be around 2-3 inches.
Optional Odor Control: To help control odors, you can sprinkle a thin layer of baking soda in the bottom of the clean litter box before adding fresh litter. Some cat owners also find success with special cat litter designed to minimize odors.
Daily Maintenance: It's recommended to scoop the litter box daily to remove waste and clumps, even when doing a full cleaning. This daily maintenance helps keep the box clean and reduces odor.
Regular Deep Cleaning: Periodically (usually once a month), perform a deep cleaning of the litter box.This involves emptying all the litter, scrubbing the box thoroughly, and replacing it with fresh litter. You can also use a pet-safe enzymatic cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water to help eliminate any lingering odors.
Replace Litter Box as Needed: Over time, plastic litter boxes may become scratched or retain odors even after cleaning. If this occurs, it may be necessary to replace the litter box with a new one.
Dispose of Waste Properly: Dispose of cat waste in a responsible and sanitary manner, following local regulations and guidelines. In some areas, pet waste may need to be bagged and placed in the trash, while others may have specific disposal requirements.
By following these steps and maintaining a regular cleaning schedule, you can ensure that your cat's litter box remains clean and odor-free, providing a comfortable and hygienic environment for both your cat and your household.

User questions & answers
Question: | Do you have to use these boxes? Or could you use a plastic or glass tray that fits the space and just refill the blue crystals? I'm OK with that |
Answer: | One of the many benefits of ScoopFree litter is that it comes with filled trays, does not need to be handled or strained and when replacing it with a fresh filled tray you slip the used tray into the enclosed plastic trash bag for disposal. It's safe and trouble free. Using other containers not only requires more work but also possible unnecessary health exposure. I believe ScoopFree is the best system and product of its type available. Vivian Chandler |
Question: | How does the dye-free crystals compare to the regular blue ones? I am interested in knowing because the price has risen $10.00 for the blue |
Answer: | I like the blue better ONLY because I can see them better on the floor than the dye free, which look like shards of glass to me. They both work the same for me. And both track less than regular litter. |
Question: | is there a bag to put old tray in |
Answer: | Not that it comes with. What I do is get a garbage bag to slip the tray into. The lid covers it well enough however I am germ-a-phob and use a bag for extra coverage. |
Question: | Is there a difference between dye-free and regular crystals? Contemplating switching over with the price increase |
Answer: | Good question, Kamariah! The only difference between them is that the dye-free crystals are free of perfumes and dyes. They also come in trays made from recycled material. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Why is it more expensive to buy the 6-pack than the 3-pack? Seems like bad business |
Answer: | I wonder the same... (2) 3-packs costs $79.48. Also, Angela below can't math. |
Question: | Is there any way to have this delivered by ups or fedex. we have a little old lady for a post-person and she cant lift the box. real pain for everyone |
Answer: | Asked the seller.they might be able to ship by either carrier. |
Question: | Do they deliver the pack of 6 one by one or all six in one package? I only received one so far. CONFUSED |
Answer: | Same thing JUST happened to me, only recieved one. Only way to get the other 5 is if I return the one I have and Amazon will send me the 6 together in one package. Seems like a waste of resources to send a tray back for no reason, but that's what they told me. |
Question: | Why has the price gone up on these over $30 since the last time I ordered them |
Answer: | The price goes up and down, but it certainly has gone up over time. THE GREAT PROBLEM, though, which I am writing as of March 2017, is that they CHANGED the refill system. There are less pieces (which I assume means more profit) but it now takes me about 12 minutes to change the litter, whereas the old system was about 4 minutes. THIS IS TERRIBLE AND I WILL BE LEAVING THEM. The whole point of scoop free was that it was easy to swap out the trays. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Is the internal larger gear finally made out of metal where it connects with the mini metal gear? Or still using the inferior plastic teeth on gear |
Answer: | It’s plastic |
Question: | Hi this is the 2nd model i’ve bought, i have the newer one now. says returnable until 1/31/21, the motor burned out. how can i return or replace |
Answer: | Thank you for your question. We're sorry that you're having trouble with your Simply Clean Litter Box. For return questions, you will want to contact the seller directly with any questions. However, your Simply Clean does carry a one-year warranty, so for troubleshooting assistance and making a warranty claim, please contact us at PetSafe directly, and we'll be happy to help. |
Question: | How does the diameter of the bowl compare to the older version |
Answer: | Thank you for such a great question! The diameter of both versions is about the same, around 19”, but we have re-positioned the conveyor and made some plastic pieces in the bowl smaller, giving your cat about 20% more usable space in the litter bowl. The bowl is also deeper with a higher litter guard, ensuring that litter stays in the actual bowl. |
Question: | I had the previous model of this litter box. I loved how it worked, but the motor burned out twice in a year. How long is the warranty for this model |
Answer: | The first year, the motor broke three times. They sent me new litter boxes each time. The third time, the guy sent me the new model with a motor that can be removed. That litter box lasted quite a while. It just broke again (probably my fault for letting the box get so full), and they are sending me a new motor. It's way past the warranty date on the original box that I received. So, although the motors do break somewhat frequently, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this box. The new model has a good motor, and when they break, the company replaces it. I have no worries about durability when their customer service is second to none. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Has anyone tried using this with pine/cedar/walnut pellets? The pellets would need to stay in the top pan and the sawdust fall through |
Answer: | The holes are too big to use pellet litter. The pellets fall through. You need the holes to be smaller so that the "sawdust" (pellets broken down from pee) falls through the holes to be dumped out, so you can save the whole pellets and put them back in the litter pan to be used. |
Question: | Can this be used with non-clumping pine litter |
Answer: | Yes, it can. I prefer it to the litter box meant for feline pine litter. You use this one differently, however. The litter is used in a solid bottom pan. I scoop the poop regularly and shake the pan to make the saw dust go to the bottom of that pan. After about a week, I empty the litter into the shifting pan and shakes the sawdust through to into the second pan. Toss out the saw dust and pour the remaining pine litter back into the original pan. It is fast and easy. The pans are easy to wipe clean. |
Question: | How much litter do you add? How do I get the sifter back under the litter after emptying it |
Answer: | Usually 3-4 inches of litter will suffice. Step 1.Lift the sifting tray and shake from side to side. clean litter will fall through sifting tray into bottom pan. Step 2.Clumped litter will remain on top of sifting tray. Discard clumps in a trash receptacle and then clean the tray. Step 3. Reassemble litter pan using empty bottom pan. Step 4. Pour sifted litter from original pan onto sifting tray. Add more clean litter if needed. Clean original pan and place under assembled litter pan for storage. |
Question: | Anyone find a hood or method for keeping the cats from kicking litter out? I love the sifting but now I have to deal with litter outside the box |
Answer: | I upcycle those wonderful Amazon boxes. Since my cats love those boxes anyway, I set one on it's side and slide the litter box into the open box. That way, I have sides and a top and the litter stays in the box. It also keeps mine from scratching walls near their litter box - mine love scratching cardboard. When I empty the litter box, I pour the spilled litter back into the clean box. By the way, the Amazon boxes are sturdy enough to spray paint if you need to color coordinate. The best thing is that if they destroy the covering box, I know I will have another Amazon delivery coming! |

Frequently Asked Questions Q: Can my kitten use the ScoopFree box? A: For kittens less than 6 months old, leave the litter box unplugged and scoop waste until they are over 6 months. Q: How can I acclimate my cat to the crystal cat litter? A: Most cats will easily adapt to the ScoopFree Self-Cleaning Litter Box, but some cats may need an adjustment period to get acclimated. Here are some helpful tips: Place the new ScoopFree litter box next to your cat's current litter box, allowing her to have access to both boxes for at least a week. Add a few handfuls of your cat's old, unused litter to the new crystal litter tray. You can also add some of the crystal litter to their current box. Stop cleaning your cat's old litter box, allowing it to remain dirty. Cats prefer a clean litter box, so this will help make the new ScoopFree litter box more appealing. Once your cat has transitioned to the ScoopFree box, remove her old box. Q: How can I get the most use out of my ScoopFree crystal cat litter? A: There are a few ways to maximize the life of your ScoopFree crystal cat litter: Place the ScoopFree litter box away from areas of high humidity, such as bathrooms, showers, and basements. Since the crystal litter controls odor by absorbing moisture, having extra moisture in the air will shorten the life of the tray. Try placing it in a room with moving air to pull away moisture, like a room with a fan. If your cat consistently urinates in the same spot, try stirring the crystals occasionally to help distribute saturated crystals. Cats with diets that are high in crude fiber and ash content will produce more solid waste, which can prematurely fill the waste trap. Consider changing your cat's diet to a food with no byproducts or fillers.

User questions & answers
Question: | The poop tray seems small. Do you have to scoop out the poop before the litter is ready to be changed |
Answer: | I never have but that might be a good thing to do my cat box needs to be changed every 100 uses where because she is only 1 cat she is supposed to last 2 months but for her it just doesn’t. I am not willing to scoop it out, to make the litter last longer. I try to save up with on the litter so I have a good supply. I t is easier with the tray and cheaper. |
Question: | I have 3 cats...do I need to keep a backup box or are ppl using this one box for 3 cats |
Answer: | I have a friend who uses 1 box for 2 cats. So you may want to consider 2 boxes or clean the capture tray often with 1 box. If you have the option, you could try 1 box to test it out and buy a second if 1 is not sufficient. |
Question: | How does this compare to the Forever Litter Tray, which is no longer available |
Answer: | It is very similar to the forever tray. I have both and am happy with both designs. |
Question: | The waste receptable on the reusable tray looks smaller than the disposable tray. Does this require more frequent cleaning |
Answer: | Yes. Not only is the waste receptacle smaller, but it also doesn't seal the way the disposable tray does. So it smells as it fills up with waste and requires regular scooping. Also, I'm noticing that the plastic tray has urine stains on it and I can't get the scent out. The disposable tray is *FAR* superior, but it's also far more expensive. It's not a perfect system. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Does the top fit IN the bottom or OVER the bottom pan? Ones that fit OVER the bottom pan seem to leak when my lazy girl doesn't squat! thanks |
Answer: | Top fits over. I, also, have a lazy girl who doesn't squat. Best cat box I've ever had and I've had many cats. Sturdy, lightweight, easy to clean, well made. I have no complaints and I'm very particular. |
Question: | is it easy to clean |
Answer: | Yes, the top flap folds up and leaves a large opening for you to get in there and clean. It's the best box we've had. Very sturdy and plenty of room. |
Question: | Can the flap come off? My cats prefer an open door |
Answer: | Yes, easy to remove clear flap (I did this for my big cats, 18 and 17 pound), and you can either 1) fold back the gray flap--which you will do when you clean, or 2) permanently remove the gray flap w/filter. Your choice, |
Question: | is this the litter box sold as "jumbo" -dimensions- 22 long-19.7 Wide- 18.5 high |
Answer: | I recently bought the Jumbo size. Using a tape measure, the interior dimensions I got at the very BASE (floor) of the pan are approx. 16"L × 15.5"W. There are semi-rounded corners at the base, which I did not include in my measurements. The pan flares out a bit from bottom to top, so the interior dimensions I got for the upper portion of the litter pan (not including the hooded cover) are approx. 21"L × 18"W. The height of the pan (not including the hooded cover) is approx. 6.5" at the front end & 11" at the back end. I apologize if my measurements aren't precisely accurate, but it's a bit difficult to take exact measurements due to curved corners, tapered side walls, etc. Hope this helps a little, though. I do love this litter box and so do my "twin" 1-yr-old tabby boys, who already weigh 16 lbs each...Yikes! Now that I have a great litter box they both like, the bigger challenge is finding a low-cal. food they'll actually eat...no luck so far. Best wishes to all my fellow furry kids & their loving families! |

Answer: | Ultra has the lid which is why it is $169.00 without the lid it is $139.00. The base of the litter box at a step counter (how many uses) and timer intervals of 5/10/15. The 2nd generation appears to have a small front lip which my cats tender to pee towards the front so with shorter front step the pee gets on the cardboard replacements. I have both ultra and 2nd generation- with two cats I prefer the ultra. In my opinion it is made better. The 2nd generation doesn’t have the timer intervals and the front step is cheaply made. |
Question: | How do you know it's time to change the tray? We have a kitten, so will it go longer at first |
Answer: | I change the litter (we use the Forever Litter Tray) after about 24 uses - that's about 4-5 days in our house with 2 cats. Our cats must pee in larger amounts, because at 24 uses, I start to notice a smell from the box and the litter looks saturated. I see other owners that get 50-100 uses before they change out the litter. For a kitten, they would pee in smaller amounts, so it should last quite a bit longer. |
Question: | Which self-cleaning litter box is the best? scoopfree, littermaid, litter-robot, or chillx autoegg |
Answer: | I got the pet safe scoop free ultra about 6 months ago and just love it. I have 3 cats that are inside/outside and have to change it every couple months. I got the plastic litter tray that was an extra $50. I've since found crystal kitty litter at Walmart for 1/2 the price of pet safe, but haven't tried it, just saw it over the weekend. |
Question: | Do you have to use crystals for this littler box to work or can you use regular clumping litter |
Answer: | Do use the crystals with this machine. It's what makes this litter box the best on the market. Not only is the motor whisper quiet, those crystals really work! The key to this system is to change the crystals after so many uses, not by days. Some people say to change when the counter hits 100. I prefer 70 in my case. And when I change it everything is brand new. I don't let my littler box turn to trash before I change it. While the crystals are more expensive than clump free litter, it works several times more efficiently. I've used LitterMaid for years and the box was never clean, it was loud and would break down after a year or so. This system really works if you use it properly and change the crystals based on "uses" not "days". |

Question: | Question for manufacturer: ingredients are not listed, so what ingredients in the cat litter wipes ingredients different from the Pet Mess Wipes |
Answer: | Nature's Miracle Litter Box Scrubbing Wipes... Ingredients listed on back label: Water, Surface Cleaners, Odor Neutralizer, Preservatives. I will add that I am highly sensitive to scents, but have no problem with these. They don't 'perfume' our litter boxes, so aren't offensive to me or my cats. (I am not familiar with Pet Mess Wipes). |

User questions & answers
Question: | Does the 2.2 version use batteries also or just plug in |
Answer: | Thank you for asking! The 2nd generation of litter boxes does not have the battery back-up feature the previous generation had. For more help contact Nature's Miracle at [email protected]. |
Question: | What can I do if the ramp breaks off |
Answer: | The plastic ramp has little hooks on either side that hang on a rod by the waist receptacle. I would use a Dremel to make a hole in the ramp and use a paperclip to go around the rod. Better yet contact the manufacture and get a replacement for the ramp. The ramp has notches to hold the cover for the waste receptacle when cleaning and falls back in place to close and cover the waste when done so the ramp seems important for the design. Hope this helps! |
Question: | Does it need batteries? Or does it have an electrical cord |
Answer: | Great question! It does not need batteries. It has an electrical cord. We hope this answers your question. For more help contact Nature's Miracle at [email protected]. We are happy to help. |
Question: | Is the multicat physically larger than the single cat model, or just deeper? My kitten loves her litterbox, but it almost seems small for her |
Answer: | Thank you for asking! The litter area of the multi cat model is 3 inches longer than the litter area of the single cat model. We hope this helps! For more help contact Nature's Miracle at [email protected]. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Why to huge huge price difference between buying one and buying two |
Answer: | Go to the actual website catit.com there cheaper and you can be better assisted |
Question: | Can "crystal" cat litter be used? I've never understood if crystals are considered to be clumping litter, but it's all we've ever used. This seems like a great litter box, but I'd hate to switch our 15-year old kitty to a completely different kind of litter |
Answer: | Yes, I use Petco’s SoPhresh Odor Lock crystal litter in this box and it works really well as long as I don’t try to sift the box right after my cats have peed in it— you need to give the litter a little time to absorb it. It’s nice not having to dislodge clumping litter from the sifting grate like I did when I used clumping clay. I have two cats and find I need to change out the litter every two weeks. |
Question: | Can i know how big is it? If it will fit a Maine Coon |
Answer: | I had a small cat and she didn't have much room to turn and dig. She tended to potty on the edges of the box making it much harder to deal with. I think a Maine Coon might not have any space at all and that beautiful fur would get messed up. |
Question: | Do you have to use there bags or can you use like a plastic target or walmart bag |
Answer: | I use standard 13 gallon kitchen trash bags in the bottom drawer and no linertia in the top at all. Of course I also use small crystal litter which doesn't stick to the plastic as bad as clumping would (if you do this, you'll want to add a strip of duckt tape along the front edge of the part that faces downward when you raise the handle--that is designed to allow some litter to drop down into the bottom tray to help with odor control, but with fine grains, you loose A LOT of litter unless you tape it). Best labor saver I've ever had though, and I've tried all the robotic boxes except the genie and the litter robot. |

User questions & answers
Question: | Bought one with a side shield but wasnt sure what these black corner pieces were for. Are they supposed to be used to put together with the lid |
Answer: | The black corner pieces are used to only protect the pan during shipping. They are to be removed and disposed of. We are trying to make the best buying experience by protecting the pan during shipping. |
Question: | wondering the dimensions (in inches please) of this pan |
Answer: | 23.5 Inches Long by 15.5 Inches Wide by 6 Inches Deep |
Question: | Real Talk... is this just a steam pan re-purposed as a stainless steel littler box for cats? Cause I can get one of those for half the price |
Answer: | I purchased 8 steam pans for my four cats several years ago for less than half the price. I only wish that I'd thought of it years ago. While this is nice because it has rounded edges, it's SO much more expensive than the steam pans. Wow, $50 for a cat pan vs. $20 for a steam pan here at Amazon. Either way, I would never, ever go back to plastic pans again. |
Question: | I love that i found a stainless steel litter box, however is this box big enough for a 17 pound ragdoll and a 10 pound himalayan? thank you |
Answer: | Just a response to those that say at least 1 litter box per cat. We had a cat rescue for nearly 20 years, at one point with as many as 12 (ferals included) residing indoors. There were never more than 5 boxes (cleaned daily) available for them. In order to see if more were needed, I'd use a UV (black light) flashlight to look for spray spots. Oddly enough, after almost 20 years, I found that none of the kids went around spraying! To sum it up, in my experience, have two boxes for two cats. If you begin to have more than that I would suggest no more than 50% box to cat ratio, with the emphasis on keeping the boxes policed. |
