Keep the Litter Box Odor to a Minimum With These Vet-Approved Tips

"Baking soda can be used as a deodorizer to help keep the litter box smelling fresher," Dr. Barrack said. This is because baking soda neutralizes acids that are responsible for many unpleasant smells, Dr. Coates added. You should sprinkle some baking soda on the bottom of your freshly cleaned litter box, then add new litter on top. "As your cat digs around the box, she'll mix a little baking soda into the litter as she goes," LaFontaine said. "You can add a little more fresh baking soda every time you scoop, too."
