The plastic tray of your Porch Potty may accumulate dirt, debris, and odors over time. To keep it clean and fresh, follow these simple steps:
- Prepare the Cleaning Solution: Grab a mixture of water and vinegar or water with a small amount of bleach. Both solutions are effective in disinfecting and deodorizing the tray.
- Wipe Down or Soak: You have two options for cleaning the tray. You can either use the cleaning solution to wipe down the tray or let it soak for 3 to 5 minutes. Wiping down the tray with a cloth or sponge will remove surface dirt, while soaking will ensure a more thorough cleaning.
- Empty and Rinse: After wiping down or soaking, empty the cleaning solution from the tray. If possible, rinse the tray with water to remove any remaining residue.
- Refill and Replace: Once the tray is clean and dry, refill it with fresh grass or synthetic turf, depending on your preference. Place the grass back on the tray, ensuring it is properly aligned and secured.
Regular Maintenance Tips
To maintain the cleanliness and functionality of your Porch Potty, here are a few additional tips:
- Daily Spot Cleaning: Remove any solid waste from the grass or synthetic turf daily. This will prevent odors and keep the potty area clean for your pet.
- Weekly Deep Cleaning: In addition to daily spot cleaning, perform a more thorough cleaning of the tray and grass once a week. Follow the steps mentioned above to ensure a deep clean and eliminate any lingering odors.
- Replace Grass or Turf: Over time, the grass or synthetic turf may wear out or become discolored. It is recommended to replace the synthetic grass every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage and condition. This will maintain a fresh and appealing potty area for your pet.
Remember, a clean and well-maintained Porch Potty not only provides a comfortable and hygienic potty area for your pet but also enhances the overall experience for both you and your furry companion.
