Stop wasting your time with those cheap plastic scoops. As a life-long cat owner, I can’t believe that I just discovered this scoop in 2020. We have a couple of cats now and I grew up having cats, so I’m no stranger to cleaning litter boxes. This scoop has cut my litter box maintenance time at in half.
The edges and corners of the litter box are always the hardest to clean, especially with a plastic scoop that flexes too much and doesn’t provide enough force to break the clumps free. This heavy duty metal scoop has enough weight to it to easily scrape the sides and get into the corners like you need to.
The wide front edge is what sets this scoop apart from the competition (even other metal scoops). The angle of the handle in relation to the scoop makes it easy to maneuver in corners. The grates in the sifter are spaced just the right distance apart to work well on both large and small clumps.
The non-stick coating on this IPRIMIO cat litter scooper has held up very well so far and actually does a fairly good job of keeping the scoop from getting fouled up. The manufacturer suggests that you can use a non-stick cooking spray such as PAM! to make it further stick-proof, but I’m not sure I want to associate my mind with a dirty litter box when I’m getting ready to cook for my family. In any case, I haven’t had any problems with dirty litter sticking to the scoop.
Do you stay on top of scooping your cat’s litter box but still want a way to mask odors? I sprinkle some Arm & Hammer Double Duty Litter Deodorizer in each box after I scoop it. They also make a product that comes in an almost identical carton that’s called Arm & Hammer Cat Litter Deodorizer. Get the one that says “Double Duty”—it is a lot stronger and leaves a nice clean scent for a couple of days.
