Hi!

So curious if anyone has any tips regarding this. We have our cat litter in the washroom of the house. The current cat sand we use has a distinct smell. While we are experimenting with different types of sand, they all, so far, have some sort of smell to them. Obviously it will also smell extra bad whenever the cats use the litter box. While we do remove the litter as soon as possible, we are curious if there are ways to at least mask the smell of the sand with something else... Anyone got any tips?

The quicker the poo dries out, the quicker it stops smelling. This is one of the benefits of crystals, but I prefer wood pellets for the same reason.

Apparently the Crystals can be a bit sharp sometimes and lead to cuts, I've not seen it happen personally but switched to wood pellets that have some baking soda or something in it too since I heard that.

Yeah I find that the pellets dry everything out after about an hour. You just gotta be on top of emptying the sawdust as it piles up and things stay pretty odour free
