How do YOU change the litterbox?

Litterbox cleaning the Michelle way.

I have 6 litterboxes to clean completely once about every 2 weeks. I scoop several times a day. When it comes to complete clean up it goes something like this. I start with the litterbox in the kitchen. I scoop out everything that can be scooped out and then use the scoop to make sure all the litter from the bottom is loose. The litter then goes into a small garbage bag which is lightly scented. I then take the box into the bathroom and use the handheld shower to blast it with hot water. I then use a special cleaner and disinfectant from the pet store (just for stinky kitties ). Rince once more with hot water and dry with paper towel and then the hair dryer (make sure all the water is gone gone gone). I then take it back to the kitchen and add litterbox deodrant and then litter. Then I proceed to the next and the next until they are all done. In the meanwhile Vixen follows me to make sure everything is done correctly and the minute the box ix laid down she does a little pee to claim it as hers. Then Phoenix does the same and then Bella. So within 2 minutes or so after each box is clean I have 3 pees in them.

Only difference with my method was using Natures Miracle.
That really took care of the odors.

Once a week I empty all 5 inside litter boxes into a super-duper heavy weight garbage bag, scraping everything off the bottoms. This goes in a special trash can outside. Then I line the litter boxes up outside on the patio and spray them thoroughly. Brush with an old dish brush, rinse thoroughly and dry with a towel. Refill and replace.

I also have 5 litter boxes outside in a specially-built shelter and a kids' old playhouse. They get scooped daily and a sprinkle of Arm & Hammer weekly. I clean them thoroughly about every other week. They get less use.

No one seems to be in a hurry to use them when I finish.

I do what you do. Because I use Feline Pine, I wait till the pellets turn into sawdust (cleaning out the poos everyday) then I dump it into a "Flexforce" trash bag (that's a whole other story) and take it to the dumpster.

I use the FF bags because one time I carrying a bag full of litter to the trash, when the cheap bag I was using burst, covering my stairs with icky litter, poos, etc.

I clean out my boxes with Nok-Out, an enzyme cleaner that is safe for all animals. Also gets the smell out of the plastic of the box. I replace my litterboxes every couple of years.

Since I use the Tidy Cat Crystals and we only have one cat, I only have to clean it thoroughly and change litter once a month. But basically our procedure the the same as all of yours

I have multiple boxes, and I do similar to above, EXCEPT --

Rather than lugging all those boxed, I bring the trash barrel on wheels IN THE HOUSE, into each room, and dump the boxes into it. I do try to dump into a plastic bag which I hang in the barrel, and sometimes it even works!

Then I wheel the trash back outside.

I take the litter boxes outdoors, dump everything into a large Flex Force bag, then hose the litter boxes out, add disinfectant cleanser and scrub them well, then hose them out again. Completely towel dry them, then back indoors where I fill them w/fresh litter.
