The bathroom is the worst place to keep the litter box

r/

The bathroom is a place where I want to feel clean. If my nose is being assaulted by the smell of cat poop and my feet are covered in litter, I’m not feeling very clean. You may think the best place from them to do their “business” is where you do your “business.” That is dead wrong. Try a place like the laundry room

    I don’t have a cat but I also don’t have a laundry room. If I did have a cat the bathroom would be the best place for a litter box.

    It supposed you clean it daily. Not that you must accumulate cat poop for a week lol

    My laundry room is my basement bathroom…
    I suppose there is the furnace room. Every other place is carpeted or the dining area so no lol

    If your cat box smells, why would you place it somewhere clothes can take in the smell? Particularly clean clothes?

    id rather have it in the bathroom, where i can can clean the litter box and floor and then clean myself than have it in the laundry where my freshly cleaned clothes are and risk my clothes have the smell ingrained in them after having being washed

    You want the smell of cat poop to be near clothing that’s freshly washed and taken out of the dryer?

    I’ve had two cats, and the litter boxes did not smell from a normal standing height. It’s only when I scooped them that I smelled anything. Good litter is effective at arresting smells from pee or poop. Get a covered litter box if you’re smelling it.

    If that’s what it’s like around your cat litter box, I think it needs to be cleaned out and maintained more regularly.

    That’s why I keep it in my kitchen, since I don’t have a laundry room

    Honestly, the cat liter box should be right in the kitchen or somewhere near the living room. Not tucked away.

    The more it’s tucked away, the more you’re likely to put off scooping.

    Well if you scoop and sweep when these things assault you it would be clean. also some laundry rooms are sometimes near the kitchen, where would you rather have poop smell?

    It’s the tiled bathroom versus rooms with hardwood floors.

    My laundry room is also in my bathroom. I have a big bathroom.

    Neighbors invited us over one night for dinner. I went to use the bathroom and nearly puked from the smell. They don’t clean it at all, except for once a month. How anybody actually stands it, I don’t know. It was vile

    For some people the bathroom is the only place to store it. You realize most people do not have a laundry room?
