I have an extra-large covered litter box. I scoop daily and give the box a thorough scrub and soak every 2 weeks. Lately I have noticed that it has an odor even a day or so after a cleaning. I do not use bleach on it, because I was worried about a lingering smell or chemical bothering the cats after it is put back in place, but I scrub it out with hot water and a household cleaner, then wash a 2nd time with dish soap.
I have had it for 7 months, with 2 cats. I assume the smell just soaks into the plastic over time, but haven't seen anyone mention how long that takes. Is it time to get a new one, or do I need to use something more to clean it with?
