How to Clean and Maintain Your CATLINK Automatic Litter Box: A Step-by-Step Guide

Owning a cat is a rewarding experience, but it also comes with responsibilities—chief among them, maintaining a clean litter box. Whether you’re using a traditional litter box or the advanced CATLINK automatic cleaning litter box, regular cleaning is essential for your cat’s health and your home’s freshness. A well-maintained litter box not only keeps your cat happy but also ensures an odor-free environment for everyone.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through daily maintenance and deep cleaning tips to keep your CATLINK litter box in top condition.

Before You Begin

Before diving into the cleaning process, it’s important to take a few precautions to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the cleaning routine:

• Wear Disposable Gloves: CATLINK recommends wearing disposable gloves during cleaning. Cat waste may contain bacteria and parasites that can pose health risks if not handled properly.

• Protect Vulnerable Individuals: Pregnant individuals and those with weakened immune systems should avoid direct contact with cat waste. If possible, ask someone else to handle the cleaning.

• Gather Your Supplies: Having everything you need on hand will make the process smoother and more efficient.

Daily Maintenance Checklist

Daily maintenance is key to keeping your CATLINK automatic litter box clean and odor-free. Here’s a simple checklist to follow:

1. Gather Your Supplies:

• Disposable gloves

• A brush or cleaning tool

• Pet-safe cleaner

• Litter deodorizer

2. Empty the Waste Compartment:

• Use CATLINK’s special deodorizing trash bags, which can hold up to 8L to 13L of waste. These bags are designed to lock in odors, making disposal more pleasant.

• Regularly emptying the waste compartment ensures your cat always has a clean space to use.

3. Clean the Surface:

• Use a brush and pet-safe cleaner to wipe down the interior surfaces of the litter box. Pay special attention to areas where litter or waste might accumulate.

• A quick daily wipe-down prevents buildup and keeps the litter box looking and smelling fresh.

4. Deodorize:

• Apply a litter deodorizer to neutralize any lingering odors. This step is especially important in multi-cat households or smaller spaces where odors can become noticeable quickly.

By following this daily routine, you’ll ensure your CATLINK litter box remains a clean and inviting space for your cat.

Deep Cleaning Guide

While daily maintenance keeps the litter box functional, deep cleaning is essential for long-term hygiene and performance. Here’s how to deep clean your CATLINK automatic litter box:

1. Power Off:

   • Always turn off the litter box and unplug it before starting the deep cleaning process. This ensures your safety and prevents damage to the device.

2. Remove the Top Lid:

   • Gently lift the top lid of the litter box. Locate the green connector inside the lid and carefully disconnect it. If needed, use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry it open.

   • This step allows you to access the ball chamber for thorough cleaning.

1. Clean the Ball Chamber:

   • Use a pet-friendly cleaner or a soft cloth to clean the ball chamber. Be sure to remove any litter residue or waste buildup.

   • Avoid getting the green connector and external magnets wet, as moisture can affect the device’s functionality.

2. Clean the Filter:

   • Remove the filter from the ball chamber and clean it with a pet-safe cleaner. Rinse it thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before reinstalling.

   • A clean filter ensures proper airflow and reduces odors.

3. Reassemble the Litter Box:

   • When reinstalling the filter, start from the middle clasp for easier assembly. Reconnect the green connector and securely place the top lid back on the litter box.

   • Double-check that all parts are properly aligned and secured before turning the device back on.
