How do I keep a litter tray from smelling in a small apartment?

Our answer

Scoop daily, wash and dry the tray regularly, use unscented litter with suitable depth and ventilate; avoid perfumed chemical cover-ups.

Why this approach makes sense

Check the animal’s actual habit and offer a suitable alternative gradually. Size, access, texture and placement can matter as much as the product.

Before you try it

Watch for signs of stress or discomfort and adjust the setup to the individual animal.
