FAQs
Is Intersand Simple truly unscented?
Yes, Intersand Simple is formulated without any added perfumes or fragrances, relying solely on the natural odor-neutralizing properties of clay.
How often should I change the litter completely?
For optimal freshness and hygiene, it is recommended to completely empty and clean the litter box and refill with fresh Intersand Simple every 2 to 4 weeks. This duration can vary based on the number of cats and their usage habits.
Can I use Intersand Simple with a litter box liner?
Yes, you can use Intersand Simple with a litter box liner. However, ensure the liner is durable, as the clumping action may cause some litter to stick to it.
Is this litter safe for kittens?
Yes, Intersand Simple is safe for kittens. Its low-dust formula and gentle clay granules are suitable for young cats. However, always supervise kittens to ensure they do not ingest excessive amounts of litter.
What is the weight of this product?
This specific product is Intersand Simple, weighing 14kg.
How does Intersand Simple control odors without scent?
Intersand Simple uses highly absorbent natural clay that traps liquid and locks away odor-causing bacteria. The rapid clumping action also helps to contain waste, preventing odors from escaping.
Can I mix Intersand Simple with other types of cat litter?
It is generally not recommended to mix clumping litters with non-clumping litters, as it can interfere with the clumping mechanism and odor control. For best results, use Intersand Simple on its own.
Troubleshooting
Litter is not clumping well.
Ensure you are using at least 3-4 inches of litter in the box. Clumping requires sufficient depth for moisture to be absorbed and form a solid mass. Also, ensure you are scooping out clumps regularly; if left too long, they can break apart.
Unpleasant odors persist.
While Intersand Simple is designed to neutralize odors, very strong odors may require more frequent scooping. Ensure the litter depth is adequate and consider a full litter box change if the issue persists after regular maintenance.
Cat is avoiding the litter box.
Ensure the litter box is clean and scooped daily. Check that the litter depth is correct and that there are no strong underlying scents. If your cat is sensitive, ensure no cleaning products with strong fragrances were used on the box. Try adding a small amount of fresh litter to encourage use.
Excessive dust when pouring or scooping.
While designed to be low-dust, some minimal dust is inevitable. Pour the litter gently and away from your face. If dust is a persistent concern, try pouring the litter into the box slowly or using a dustpan to manage the pour.
