What kind of mat traps litter best and is temizlemesi kolay?
A smart kedi kumu paspası uses a üst katman with texture and üst katmanda delikler to catch granules, plus a second layer to hold debris until you pour the litter back into the box. This design helps reduce çöp dağılması from each pençe. A yumuşak mat with a slight shag might feel nicer underfoot, while firmer PVC grids with a deep Oluk catch more grit.

How often should you clean the litter mat?

The goal is to keep your litter zone fresh so cats feel safe to use the litter box; many cats don’t like dirty floors near the box, and that can lead to accidents outside the box.
We recommend this cadence:
- Regular cleaning: quick shake + vakum both sides.
- Thorough cleaning: wash, fırçalamak, durulmak, Ve hava kurutma.
