how to clean non clumping cat litter

Remove solid waste daily and replace the entire litter regularly to maintain hygiene.

Cleaning non-clumping cat litter effectively involves more frequent maintenance compared to clumping litter. Since it doesn’t form clumps around liquid waste, spot cleaning is limited to solid waste, which should be removed daily. The rest of the litter absorbs moisture and odors over time, so it’s important to completely empty and replace the litter regularly—typically every 3–5 days, depending on usage and odor levels. During full changes, the litter box itself should also be cleaned with mild soap and warm water, then thoroughly dried before refilling. This process helps prevent bacteria buildup and keeps the litter area fresh and healthy for your cat.
