• First I have paper towels that I keep in large closed zip lock bags near each litter station. Most cats need two litter boxes per cat. But if you keep them clean you can get by on less.
• I also have baking soda on hand, assorted spray bottles containing various cleaners(diluted liquid lysol is working great for me right now and another good one is kids n pets in a spray bottle)
• Scoops,a cut out jug for disposal
• A supply of tie up kitchen trash bags(tie ups(ties made into each bag) are usually thicker- I don't use the tie usually)
• A kneeling pad
• And a box of litter(I get the 40lb size scoopable for economy) with a can inside for topping off the litter boxes.

When I clean a litter box, the first thing I try to do is time it right. Before feeding is a good time because they usually go to the litter box after they eat. Late afternoon works for me too because the pets are usually asleep.

The first thing that I do is round up everything that I need. I lay out the kneeling pad and an open trash bag on the grass mat that I have surrounding the litter area. Next I get the cleaning supplies all located and placed nearby.

Once ever few days, I spray each side of the litter box with liquid lysol before I scoop them out. I then let that soak in and scoop out the litter box. I roughly scrape off any dried on cat debris with the scoop and fill the bag that is open on the floor.

After I finish each box, I wipe off the previously sprayed on Lysol with paper towels and dispose of them in the bag along with the litter.

I sprinkle baking soda on top when the litter is all clear. I wipe it into the clumping litter with the back of the scoop as I smooth and level the surface of each box.

I then top off each box with a thin to thick layer of new kitty litter from the litter box that is nearby with the can that is inside. I level that off and I am almost done.

When the catch bag for the litter gets to a liftable weight, but not too heavy, I tie the end and place it in a garbage can with a lid for disposal on trash day.

I also recommend having a supply of dust masks in case you don't have a fan running near your litter area like I do. The dust from litter is bad for your health in many ways.

If you use a dust mask it would probably be a real good idea to toss it away each time and get a new one, old dust can cause bacteria to grow in the mask between uses. There are dust masks available in larger packs that are pretty inexpensive.

Keeping the litter box clean and washed will go a long way toward making your pet household a happier place for all concerned.
