I don't have to anymore since I'm pregnant. My fiance scoops them once a day, and completely changes them every 2 weeks. :)
congrats on the baby! i don't think i had told you that yet. :D

As soon as Zsa-Zsa uses it (for a no.2, or if she's done a lot of no.1s;) ) it is scooped, washed and left in the garden to dry. It's replaced by another one after that.

I scoop the litterboxes twice a day (once in the morning, once in the afternoon). And I completely clean them every 2-3 weeks or so.

We scoop the boxes daily, sometimes more, sometimes less. And completely change it every couple of weeks.

I scoop 2 or 3 times a day (depending on who does what in which box ;) ) and add litter on a weekly basis. They use the boxes so much that my weekly adding of litter is all I need. If I didn't add littler every week, it would be completely empty after 2 weeks. I think I might scrub and clean it 3 or 4 times a year. Maybe. That too depends on which box: the box in the closet seems to need it more often than any of the others (don't know why, but it does). It sounds gross, but I promise my boxes are clean. My rescue friends who have seen my boxes are impressed with how neat and clean they are. They have to be since Allen gets cranky if they aren't clean :p

I scoop twice a day and add litter weekly. Empty and scrub once a month.

Daily. We used to have an automatic box, but it was my sister's and she moved and took it. Sonny has three boxes- one was meant to be emptied and stored but he uses it so it stayed, one has cheap litter that he seems to like best, and one has scoopable litter that we like best. All are in the basement so there is no smell, but they get scooped often because I walk past there morning and night to get food for the critters and it doesn't take much effort if there isn't much to scoop.

I scoop once a day and clean & pour new litter once a week, usually

which is also downstairs.I use' arm & hammer' litter deoderent 'with the
fresh step litter & it keeps the smell down for up to a week.

I have 2 boxes that get cleaned everyday. I change it completely whenever it looks like it needs it/smells.

I have 4 boxes in the house that get scoopped every day, and they get the boxes get scrubbed whenever they need it which isn't very often.

I scoop 2 times a day sometimes less or more. I add litter when it needs it and completely change the litter every 2 weeks.

I would have to say it gets scooped every other day (sometimes more or less) with the three cat brats. :D It gets completely emptied, washed, and dried every weekend. Then, it gets filled with some awesome Feline Pine and a little sprinkle of Tidy Cat deodorizer. I can't even smell the box with the FP. The reason I add deodorizer is that *SOMEONE* ends up doodying in the litter box as soon as I change it regardless of how clean it was before hand.

I try to scoop everyday, but sometimes ends up every other day. I go through a lot of litter too! I have to change it at least every two weeks, or my house would start smelling like a sewer system, yuk!
