    I usually freecycle mine but I'm keeping the next one to plant and herb garden. Are the stains inside or out? I would assume in...if it's covered in dirt anyway..problem solved!

    We have 11 litterboxes, and this is one question that I have never considered!!! However, I would definitely clean them with bleach and rinse well, then off to the shelter!!!

    Well, I poured in enough straight vinegar (not distilled) to cover the stains.

    Later I added baking soda....it fizzed like mad!

    Then I took it to the bathtub - sprayed Fantastik on it and left it for a while. Then I got the Comet with bleach, a plastic scrubbie...then switched to an SOS pad, and it's WHITE again!

    USE RUBBER GLOVES!

    Thanks, everyone!

    We clean them out and my husband uses them for soil when he's working on the deck planters. He mixes the blend of soils and fertilizers he needs and carries it up to the deck with a small shovel. We haven't had as many as some of you, though!

    Never gave this much thought! I know they go out to hubby in the garage and at least one of them is used for oil changes There is also one with assorted screws and tools, pencils, junk, etc. In this house, they are garage accessories.

    I agree a good cleaning with bleach, then vinegar. We then let them set on the deck for a week or so, to sun bleach. They can be used for almost any thing, planters, or donate to a shelter.
