How do YOU change the litterbox?

Does anyone out there use Lysol in the cat's litter pan? I've been using vinegar and water to clean Cassie's litter pan, but I wonder if I should be using something with a disinfectant. My sister used to use Lysol with her cats. I remember her rinsing and rinsing and rinsing the box. That's why I've been using vinegar. Is there something more organic I can try? How often does anyone replace the pan itself? She's so funny ... I empty, clean, refill it, go down to the Dumpster with the "old" litter and usually, within 10 or 15 minutes I hear her in there digging and pawing. Silly kitty

I think it's best just to use soap and water to clean out the litter boxes. This is what I use and then I also use Simple Solution which is an enzyme cleaner to help make the boxes smell fresher and to help get rid of the urine smell. I use the litter boxes for many years. Depending on how hard your cats are on them, they could almost last you a life time. Good luck.

Sherpa never ever ever buries anything, so I only have to really clean it about every 6 weeks. I dump it out into the dumpster outside, rinse the pan in the tub, and wash it with a sponge especially for the litterbox and some Dawn dish soap.

I dump the litterbox into the building dumpster, then scrub outside with a Brillo pad and rinse. I then set it out in the sun to dry and disinfect.

I CLEAN THE BOXES OUT ABOUT 3 TIMES A DAY, AND THEN PUT THE USED LITTER INTO A DOUBLE PLATIC SHOPPING BAG, AND THEN THROW THEM INTO THE GARABGE BAG AT THE BUS STOP , WHERE ITS ALL GATHERED IN A BIG INDUSTRIAL BAG AND TOSSED IN THE LAND FILL.
I GUESS THAT EVERY DAY THEY GO THROUGH 8 POUNDS OF CLUMPING LITTER!!
