Before moving into our new home in March 2001, we had no choice but to keep our cat Rucky's litter box in our kitchen. So just imagine the challenge I faced when trying to keep pet odors to a minimum in the most used room in our house! It never failed that Rucky somehow always knew just when we were all getting ready to sit down for dinner. He had that same sense of timing that most telemarketers seem to possess as well these days. After taking just a few bites of our meal, here he'd come to make his twice daily "deposit" of solid waste into his litter box, then leave the smell lingering behind. To this day, I swear I think he did such things on PURPOSE just to make his presence known!
Anyway, as I'm sure you can imagine, the aroma he left behind didn't do much for our appetites. Many times I was forced by this foul odor to get up from the dinner table and empty the contents of Rucky's litter box before my family could finish our meal. After awhile, I got really tired of having to do this.
So while shopping at Wal-Mart one day, I was purchasing cat litter and cat food from the pet department when I noticed Arm & Hammer Cat Litter Deodorizer With Baking Soda sitting on the shelf. Price: $2.17. I remember thinking to myself that IF this product could help our dinner-time dilemma, then it would definitely be worth that price and more! Right then, I decided to give Arm & Hammer Cat Litter Deodorizer a try and placed the container into my buggy along with my other selections for the day.
Not long after making my purchase, sure enough, it was dinner time and "you know who" comes strutting into the kitchen to do his business as usual. This time, I quickly sprinkled some Arm & Hammer Cat Litter Deodorizer With Baking Soda into Rucky's litter box after he was through before the smell could permeate the entire room. And it worked! No more "eeewwws", "yucks", and pinched noses from the rest of the family as they continued on with dinner. Instead of being exposed to the foul odor of fecal material like in the past, all we could smell was the fresh, pleasing scent produced by Arm & Hammer Cat Litter Deodorizer.
Yes, I STILL had to physically get up out of my chair to take care of our odor problem, but it was well worth that extra effort! All I had to do was sprinkle some Arm & Hammer Cat Litter Deodorizer into Rucky's litter box and sit back down to dinner and finish my meal. Before, I would of had to "scoop" the solid waste material out of the litter box to eliminate the source of the odor, dispose of it into our outside trash can, and THEN wash my hands when finished before rejoining my family at the dinner table. Once dinner was over, I could now dispose of the foul smelling litter box contents at a more convenient time. Arm & Hammer Cat Litter Deodorizer With Baking Soda did such a wonderful job! Now I only wish I'd discovered this product sooner.
Arm & Hammer Cat Litter Deodorizer With Baking Soda STOPS litter box odors before they have a chance to spread through the entire room. It contains a "moisture activated" fragrance that helps to keep your cat's litter box smelling clean and fresh. This fragrance is released every time your cat uses the box. This product may be used with any type of cat litter (regular clay or scoopable), and even makes cleanup easier because Arm & Hammer Cat Litter Deodorizer helps to keep litter from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Each 20 ounce square box of Arm & Hammer Cat Litter Deodorizer With Baking Soda is packaged in strong, orange colored cardboard with a "flip top" opening that can be reclosed very easily by simply pressing the flap back down after each use. This product is obviously safe to use around pets and is even veterinarian recommended. The Arm & Hammer "standard of purity" seal is found on every box as an assurance of superior quality.
TO USE WITH CLAY LITTER: Simply pour enough Arm & Hammer Cat Litter Deodorizer to completely cover the bottom of the litter pan before adding litter. Then add cat litter as usual. The scratching motion cats make when covering up waste materials mixes this product in with the cat litter automatically.
TO USE WITH SCOOPABLE LITTER: (this is what I do) Pour on top of cat litter and mix in. For added protection between litter changes, sprinkle Arm & Hammer Cat Litter Deodorizer on top periodically to prevent odor even longer.
Even though we now have a basement in our new home where we keep Rucky's litter box and no longer have to deal with foul smelling pet odors during dinner time, I continue to use Arm & Hammer Cat Litter Deodorizer With Baking Soda on a daily basis. Each time I scoop out the waste materials inside the litter box, I sprinkle Arm & Hammer Cat Litter Deodorizer on top to prevent odors. So far, you'd never know we had a cat in our basement going by smell alone! Needless to say, I'm very pleased with the results.
Now theoretically, use of "plain" undeodorized baking soda would probably do the job just as well as Arm & Hammer Cat Litter Deodorizer at a much lower cost. This might be worth a try as well for those that do not care for the strong deodorizing fragrance found in this product. I personally have never tried this as I like the fresh smell Arm & Hammer Cat Litter Deodorizer With Baking Soda leaves behind. But for those with perfume allergies, this alternative might be beneficial.
I often find $.30 off coupons in our local Sunday paper to help with the cost of purchasing Arm & Hammer Cat Litter Deodorizer, bringing the original cost of $2.17 a box down to $1.87. Also, if you send a friend or relative's address to the company, they will send them information and a coupon to help get them started AND will send you a coupon as well as a thank you. Here's the address to get started!
