10 Expert Tips for Fighting Cat Odor in Your Home

    2. USE LITTER DEODORIZERS

    If the litter your cat prefers doesn’t offer the best odor control, consider trying a litter deodorizer that can be either sprinkled or sprayed on to the litter itself and refreshed on a daily basis or when needed. Kitchen baking soda is non-toxic and a firm feline favorite. However, there are many new products on the market that are available in both pet supermarkets and in the home care aisle of major retailers.

My cats did not like Worlds Best. Neither did I due to poor odor control & dust. Arm & Hammer is our choice. Works great!

I am about to have a granddaughter move in with me and that includes her cat. I don't have a cat and wanted to know if there is any possible precautions that I should take before the cat arrives that would assure me of no cat odor!

Keep litter clean/fresh. No odor. Cats have virtually no smell outside their litterbox.

We had one major problem with the closed in litter box. Our small elderly dog thought it was her bed and the cats had to wait for her to get out. LOL

ok cat stink use baking soda if your cat is tossing litter out of box/pan get a big/deeper one or a box to put it in also one with a smaller hole that way stinkers cant just jump out of pan throwing litter also don't be cheap fill pan with enough litter then add some more all your worries are fixed

Worlds Best Cat Litter and also Dr. Elsey's were actually the absolute worse on the dust residue for us.

The odor is NOT the problem, it's the nasty dust that all cat litters leave all over the house!!! As long as you clean it out regularly no odor problem at all.

I been using Fresh Step for years and to me I like the product I tried others but to me I find this one works great I have two cats. I tried scoop away but to me I prefer Fresh step.

I uses Fresh Step for over 5 years and it seems to work great, I got two cats and I use the one that is suitable for odors.
