How do you clean the litter box? Is there a liner that fits the box for easy kitty litter clean-up?

not that I am aware of...I clean the litter boxes every week outside with the hose and vinegar to freshen them

I cut 30 gal black garbage bags down the side and use as a liner -- much cheaper than commercial liners. And I don't know if there are commercial liners available of that size. Box works well in my home -- I removed the door for ease of use for my older (fat) cat.

You don't have to have the receptacle liner bags, but they sure do make it a lot cleaner and easier when emptying the receptacle on the Litter Maid litter box. I did not have the liner bags until recently, however, and just emptied the receptacle into a plastic bag to dispose of the waste, and then wiped it out with a paper towel (over the trash can) and put it back in for the next time. A receptacle is good for this process for about 6 months or so if you empty it every other day and wipe it out occasionally to keep it from getting too messy. If you use the liner bags, you can open the bag and put it in the receptacle and then place it back into position and when it is full, you just take out the receptacle and lift the bag up and tie it closed to seal in all the waste, put in a new liner and put the receptacle back into position and you're done. I would suggest getting the liner bags (approx. $16.99 for 200 bags) to go with the Litter Maid if you are giving it as a gift, but not necessary. You can purchase additional receptacle pans with their cover, but they are more expensive than the liners, so using the liners would make each one last much longer because they are staying clean all the time and would only need to be replaced when they start to lose their shape or crack from age. 4 receptacles and lids will come with the new machine and these are a little heavier/sturdier than the replacement ones that you buy separately.

I use Tidy Cats light weight clumping litter and it works wonderfully with this litter box. I no longer dread cleaning it.

You will have to use clumping cat litter. I have used brands Tidy Cat and Fresh Step.

I will tell you the exact same thing as I mentioned to the other person who asked. The way LitterMaid markets this is so you spend lots of money. You don't have to replace filters or poop catchers as often as they say. The box stays closed after the scoop dumps the poop in it. The poop bucket pulls out so you can empty it. Another suggestion is the top part of the poop bucket sometimes comes loose so put a piece of tape on the sides so it doesn't move. Let me know if this helps you.

First off, NO!!! u do not have to use a liner, I just wash mine once ever 6-8 weeks. The whole top(the lighter grey erea) comes off, however it has a lock on eachside so that u just cant accidentally lift it off when u don't want it to. It is a very simple lock, one on each side, u put the top on and then slide the lock on both sides to the back of the litter box. On the top of the litter box u can see the darker grey, it also lifts up by itself along with the see-thru flip flop style of door for your Cat. I personally never use it but it is a nice option to have if u dont want to take the top off every time u scoop out there daily bathroom leavings. Either way this is hands down the best LitterBox I have ever used, my 2 cats love it, also one of my cats is a huge cat weighing in at 18 pounds, he is not fat just a big cat, and he can easily get in and out thanx to the design and the oversized door. Both my cat can get in and out and they love it. I cannot reccomend this box high enough and don't be nervous buying it online, I found it in a store and at the store it was more expensize even with the shipping included so buy it here on AMAZON and dont give it a second thought u will be very very SATISFIED! Hope this helped.

You have to choose. Purchase this pan and use scoopable litter which doesn't require liners. If you want to use liners/clay litter, purchase a different kind of pan.

I didn't have that prob with my cats but I have heard that gradually moving their old litter box closer to the unit and then eventually transferring some of the soiled litter into the unit and then removing the old box. May take a week or two but hopefully they will get used to the machine and get curious enough to step into it.

Good morning. I don't use cat box liners, so I'm unaware if they exist for the Biddy cat box. However, due to the large size, it's easily cleaned using a water hose and household cleaner. It's the best cat box out there. Good luck! Jim

I love these and, yes, the kitty boxes are much deeper. What I do is first put a plastic draw-string cat pan liner (trash bag, basically) into the cat box. The bag won't work alone since kitties with claws poke holes in them. However, this hard plastic liner takes care of that problem. So I put the trash bag in, followed by the disposable tray, followed by fresh litter. THEN (the most wonderful part) changing the pan is as simple as closing up the bag with the draw strings which encloses the disposable pan and used litter. Dump the whole thing in the trash and voila - you're done! I have found that I need to trim about 1/2" off all the way around the lip of the disposable pan with my kitchen sheers for a better fit into the cat pan.

First, shake it outside until no more litter falls out... (hang it and beat it with a broom) ...if you're using clumping litter you'll have a real headache when you go to hose it off. I tried all sorts of odor neutralizing products, but nothing worked and my cats started to prefer the mat to the box. When I trashed the mat, nobody peed outside the box anymore. I picked up a few carpet remnants and they worked equally well... at $1 each it wasn't a burden to replace them if an accident happened.

I have not had this problem. I scoop mine every day as well, when I empty it completely, I clean it with a combination of water, lemon juice, vinegar and baking soda. I also have 2 litter boxes for my cat.

I haven't. If it is any help, I use a litter box lined with a garbage bag, and then filled with the litter. I guess it is because my cat urinates so much at a time, but it soaks all the way through the fairly thick litter, and while clumped together, the clumps stick to the plastic at the bottom of the litter box.

very good question.. I personally don't use liners and the litter box is an odd triangle shape... You'd really to have to play around with it but I wouldn't count on it

I have more than one cat and used a very large litter box. The liners covered it generously, but since I didn't like the product I didn't use them again. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Depending on how many cats you have . If it is only one cat, then you have to empty or exchange the container with the dirty litter every other day even every 2 days. If you have two cats it needs to be cleaned everyday. I would check in a pet store first and then buy online due to the better price!!! I love it no problems with it. Hope I could help you
