I proudly present the world’s quickest DIY litter scoop holder. Well, maybe not the world’s quickest, but still pretty darn quick. I included gratuitous photos.
Materials:
Empty carton (distilled water, milk, whatever so long as it hasn’t held cleaning chemicals)
Scissors or box knife
Sharpie (not strictly necessary, but handy)
Optional:
Duct tape (the old reliable)
1. Rinse out the carton really well. Trust me, you do not want the smell of sour milk wafting through the house if you’re using a milk carton for this.
2. Sharpie on the outline you’d like to cut out. Or just start cutting. It’s not an exact science. The size of the part you remove will vary depending on the size of your scoop.
3. Cut along the marked area. I left the handle and lid on. It should be handy for picking up the scoop holder when it’s time to dispose of it.
4. Optional part – if you’re worried about the sharp edges of the plastic, you could put a little duct tape on them.
5. Voila.
Super easy, right? Martha Stewart might not approve, but seriously, it’s to hold a litter scoop. It doesn’t need to be expensive or particularly pretty.
If you make one for yourself or have a different way of making one, please let me know. I love seeing people be creative.
With four cats in our household, odors are a fact of life. (Especially considering the… um, potence of our two boys.) I discovered Anti-Icky-Poo, an enzyme odor remover, when we were living in our last place. Previous tenants had cats with “issues” in a few corners, and the owner of the property didn’t want to properly address the problem by replacing carpet padding. The normal surface cleaners weren’t doing a thing, so it was time to do some research.
