Maintenance

Regular cleaning is essential for your cat's health and to maintain a fresh home environment.

1. Daily Scooping: Use the provided scoop to remove solid waste and clumped litter daily. This helps control odors and keeps the litter box hygienic.
2. Litter Replacement: Depending on the type of litter and number of cats, replace all litter every 1-2 weeks.
3. Deep Cleaning: When replacing litter, empty the entire contents of the box. Clean the litter box using warm water and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that may be harmful to your cat or leave strong odors. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before adding fresh litter.
4. Lid Cleaning: Periodically clean the grooves on the lid to ensure they effectively catch litter from your cat's paws.

Troubleshooting

• Cat not using the litter box: Ensure the litter box is placed in a quiet, accessible location. Some cats may need time to adjust to a new litter box style. You can try placing a small amount of their old litter in the new box to encourage use.
• Litter tracking: While the lid is designed to minimize tracking, some litter may still escape. Ensure the litter level is not too high. Consider placing a litter mat around the box for additional litter containment.
• Odor issues: Scoop daily and perform regular deep cleans. Ensure adequate ventilation in the area where the litter box is located.
• Dog accessing litter: The top-entry design is intended to deter dogs. If your dog is still able to access the litter, ensure the litter box is placed in an area inaccessible to the dog, or consider additional barriers.
