Cat Forum / General Topics / June 2007Cleaning up litter
Our cats get litter all over the floor. I've not yet managed to find a vacuum cleaner that picks it up quickly and well. Has anyone found a good option? -- Mark there are "sticky" mats that collect the litter from the cats paws that you can place around the litter boxes you can find them at any pet store As for vacuum cleaners if you can find a manual sweeper they are about the best to use > Our cats get litter all over the floor.

Plus the cats like to chase it which they don't do with the vac. I go through a couple of the sweepers a years because after a while the brushes do not pick up like when new. How it works may depend on the type of carpet you have. I have like a VERY short nap - almost like indoor/outdoor like restaurants use. >there are "sticky" mats that collect the litter from the cats paws that you >can place around the litter boxes you can find them at any pet store > >As for vacuum cleaners if you can find a manual sweeper they are about >the best to use >> Our cats get litter all over the floor.

Unfortunately, nearly all the stand up dustpans you will be able to find are really bad and spill the litter when you try to dump them. There is at least one off-brand that locks in position, but they can be hard or impossible to find. After a through going over with the broom, I can mop the floor with a string mop and wringer bucket.  SignatureT.E.D.

Takes less time than doing laundry, the dishes or the car. > Our cats get litter all over the floor. I've not yet managed to find a > vacuum cleaner that picks it up quickly and well. Has anyone found a > good option? If your cats use covered litter boxes, there are "doormats" to place just outside the opening. They are ribbed and cause the litter to fall out of the cat's paw onto the "doormat" where it can easily be cleaned up. No $4 to park! No $6 admission! http://www.INTERNET-GUN-SHOW.com > Our cats get litter all over the floor. I've not yet managed to find a > vacuum cleaner that picks it up quickly and well.

I just use my Dyson but for that area I put the narrow pipe on (I think it's called a crevice tool) and that works every time Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs I have a shopvac that works well. They even come in smaller sizes now. Celeste > Our cats get litter all over the floor. I've not yet managed to find a > vacuum cleaner that picks it up quickly and well.
