I believe that all scavengers should be worried about how to choose cat litter. After all, there are too many styles of cat litter on the market to choose from. So here’s the good news, we recently asked many managers of cat litter manufacturers, and here we can explain to you what makes a good cat litter.

There are hundreds of kinds of cat litter on the market. Not only the ingredients will affect it, but the price difference is also related to the quality. I believe these problems will be bothering you for a long time! But now we also have a set The way to identify the quality of cat litter is to make a basic judgment based on the pH, moisture content, adsorption capacity, and fragrance. ​​​​​​

How to judge the quality of cat litter? (Four standards for judging the quality of cat litter)

　1. pH value

From the pH value, you can determine whether other harmful substances are added to the cat litter. Taking mineral sand as an example, when inferior manufacturers use low-grade bentonite to make cat litter, they will add other substances to improve the odor absorption ability of the cat litter, and these harmful substances Substances can affect the pH of cat litter.

Generally speaking, pH 8-10 is a reasonable range. If it reaches above pH 10, the dust from the cat litter may burn the esophagus or respiratory tract of humans and cats. Cat litter manufacturers have professional instruments for measurement, so how should poop scoopers judge at home? In fact, we can rub the dust in the palms of our hands and let it sit for 10 minutes before flushing. At this time, if there is a burning sensation in the hands, it means that this product The cat litter is substandard.

　2. Moisture content

Moisture content is also a factor that affects the quality of cat litter. Cat litter with too high moisture content will produce more dust, while cat litter with low moisture content will have less dust. Normal manufacturers will dry the cat litter to remove excess water, which is the most expensive part of the cat litter production process. Therefore, in order to reduce costs, some manufacturers use the sun drying method to dehydrate the cat litter, but the effect is of course not as good as drying.

The moisture content of cat litter should be below 8%. Cat litter with a moisture content of more than 10% will pulverize if left for a long time. It will easily disintegrate into powder when touched by hands. Shit scrapers can learn from the above two situations. Come and judge.

3. Adsorption capacity

The adsorption capacity is an indicator of the deodorizing function of cat litter. The adsorption capacity of cat litter is related to the ammonia content. The manufacturer also has professional instruments to measure it, but there are also simple measurement methods, which are very convenient for us. In addition to cat excrement, the "most smelly" place in the house is the refrigerator. Just put a small cup of cat litter in the refrigerator for a day and come out to smell it the next day. If you add a smell, it means that the cat litter has the adsorption function~

　4. Fragrance

The scent of cat litter can be known by smelling it. Cats rely on their sense of smell to live. Cat litter with too strong scent will cause cats toCat's sense of smell is paralyzed. The scent of cat litter comes from two sources, namely "chemical processing" and "natural plants". The smell of chemical spices is long-lasting, while the smell of plant spices cannot last long, but it is not harmful to cats. Therefore, if you want to buy scented cat litter, it is recommended to buy one made of plant spices. However, for cats, it is best to buy unscented cat litter.

The judgment criteria for all cat litters are roughly the same. The above methods are provided for your reference
