How often to clean a cat litter box?

Expert Answer

Deep-clean the litter box every 2-3 weeks to avoid bacteria and odor. Also scoop it daily, since cats defecate every day; promptly remove feces or the box smells and attracts insects.

If the box is too smelly the cat refuses to use it and goes elsewhere, so scoop daily and deep-clean every 2-3 weeks.
