Cheap Litter Box Deodorizer
How to Reduce Litter Box Odor The Frugal Way

By Erin Huffstetler, About.com

Tired of battling a stinky litter box, and paying big bucks for so-called deodorizing kitty litter? Then, try this cheap trick: sprinkle a layer of baking soda over the bottom of the litter box, before pouring in kitty litter (the cheap stuff will work fine), and those litter box odors will be a thing of the past.

Why This Works

Baking soda actually absorbs the odor and moisture present in the litter box instead of just covering it up – better for your nose and your furry friend.
