AUSTRALIA, September 2025 – Spring is in the air, which means it’s the perfect time for a fresh start and not just for your home, but for your cat’s litter box too.

With warmer days and higher humidity, odours can build up faster, making regular maintenance more important than ever. To help, Breeder’s Choice has teamed up with veterinarian Dr Claire Jenkins to share five simple tips for keeping your cat’s litter box clean, comfortable and odour-free this season.

1. Scoop daily

Removing solid waste every day is the easiest way to stay ahead of smells and keep your cat happy.

2. Refresh weekly

Empty the box and replace the litter once a week, giving the box a quick wash with mild soap and warm water before refilling.

3. Skip the harsh chemicals

Avoid bleach or strong disinfectants, which can put cats off using their litter box. Stick to gentle, unscented cleaners.

4. Choose the right litter

Not all litters are created equal. Natural, dust-free options like Breeder’s Choice, made from recycled paper, are gentle on paws, absorb odours effectively and create less mess around the home.

5. Watch the weather

Warmer temperatures and humidity can intensify odours and moisture. Switching more frequently in spring will keep things fresher for longer.

“Cats are fastidious creatures, and a clean litter box is essential for their wellbeing,” says Dr Claire. “By following these simple steps, you’ll create a healthier environment for your cat and a fresher home for the whole family.”
