Are Joey and your mom visiting just before cleaning time when your litter trays are soiled, or can they still smell that odour after you've cleaned your apartment?

Our cleaning routine is almost identical to yours and we can only detect odour when the litter trays are used or it's a really warm day and we don't have the windows open. I don't know what else you can do except maybe have any carpets and rugs steam cleaned, just in case they've urinated on the carpets because it sounds like the rest of your routine is fine
After the place is scrubbed down...my once a wek cleaning they say it smells fine. It's the during the week sometimes before scooping and sometimes after that they say it smells.

Your mention of the windows makes sense. Since it's chilly here...I haven't had to turn on the Air conditioner. The temp stays at a constant 70 degress F in the apartment. Not cold enough for the heater, not warm enough for AC. The temp is fine for me. The circulation of air is probably my problem. Thank you.
