Summer comes earlier in the south, and parents who keep pets may have a headache. There is a slight odor in the home where pets are kept, but the hot and humid weather in summer will amplify the odor in the home, and sometimes it is inevitable that it will smell bad. So how to remove the odor in the home of a cat-raising family?

1. Dispose of cat poop

The smell of cat poop is the main cause of odor in homes with cats. Some cats don’t like to bury their poop, which simply drops a stink bomb in the home! Seven of my cats like to poop outside the cat litter box every day when I come home. I smell the pungent stench. If a friend comes to my house, I have to silently pray to Seven not to stay outside. However, the smell when I open the door always makes me embarrassed in front of my friends. Therefore, if you want to have fresh air in your home in summer, you must deal with cat poop.

​1. Choose the right cat litter. Bentonite cat litter is the most commonly used cat litter in cat-raising families. The air humidity is high in summer, so when choosing bentonite cat litter, you must pay attention to choosing cat litter with larger particles. Bentonite cat litter with larger particles has better water absorption and clumping effects, and is not easy to spread. Small particles of bentonite cat litter can easily break into powder in hot and humid weather.

2. Clean up cat feces in a timely manner and replace all cat litter regularly. If you want to keep your home smell-free in summer, you must clean the cat litter box frequently. Especially in households with many cats, cleaning two to three times a day is essential. Not only must it be cleaned in time every day, but the litter in the litter box must be completely replaced at least once a week, and the litter box must be disinfected with disinfectant. This not only removes odors, but also effectively prevents bacterial growth and keeps the cat litter clean and dry.

3. Replace closed toilets. If you cannot clean the cat litter box in time multiple times a day, you can replace the cat litter box with a sealed cat toilet, which can effectively block the odor in the toilet.

4. Use deodorizing powder. Sprinkling cat-specific deodorizing powder on cat litter can effectively remove the odor of cat poop.

5. Cats should have a light diet in summer. The cat’s diet should be as light as possible. You can add some vegetables to the cat’s food, such as lettuce, cucumber, corn, etc., which can promote gastrointestinal motility and reduce the odor of the cat’s stool.

2. Prevent cat body odor

Bacteria tend to breed in summer, and diseases caused by fungi and bacteria such as ear mites and ringworm in cats are more likely to be transmitted or relapse. Ear and body odor caused by ear mites and ringworm are also one of the important reasons for odor in the home. Therefore, you should always do a good jobWhen it comes to cat health care, deal with problems in a timely manner if problems are discovered. Pay attention to household hygiene, scrub furniture and floors frequently, clean up dead corners in the home, and maintain indoor ventilation. Keep your home fresh and reduce the chance of cats getting sick.
