KITTY LITTER DUST
Matthew laid this down on his screen :
Are you using cheap litter if so upgrade "Dennis" wrote in message ... Just became a cat owner a few months ago and thought I had done all my homework on the pros and cons of owning a cat, but there's always something you miss. In my case, it's the dust from the kitty litter that has settled over everything in my home. Is there anything that can be done to eliminate this most annoying problem. And before you even think of it, I ALREADY OWN A FEATHER DUSTER AND VACUUM CLEANER -- Dennis I keep telling friend it would make more sense for her to use a different type of litter. She lives in an apartment with refuse collect once every 2 weeks. -- Count Baldoni |

I use the Fresh Step litter. It works fine. |

Use 2 storage bins or 5 gal pails- pour the litter back and forth from one pail to the other a few times. This will get rid of most of the dust. Hold the pails as high as you can just before the litter starts blowing away. The more times you dump the litter back and forth the more dust you'll eliminate. Phil |

Your friend MUST change the litterbox at least wice a DAY! and I use a Lysol room spray to get rid of the airborne germs from changing the 2 boxes.. and I wear a filter face mask as well. I got some litter that was dusty and may have gotten sick from inhaling it. BTW, Hi Count Thanx for the 'heads up' on you know who... OMG, you've got the M15 guy here too??? He's another paranoid idiot!! Kyla%b |

I've used litters that are supposedly 99% dust free and still feel like I'm in Pigpen's dust cloud when I fill the litter box. Can anyone recommend a brand of scoopable that really is low on dust??

You could also add a hepa filter machine by it will collect the dust and smells Hmmmmmmm, I have one of those, but I also wear a face mask and spray a Lysol air germ killer before I enter the catbox room...that helps too.

The, "clumping" type is more dust free than the other.....Easier to work with, too....... |
