Is crystal cat litter wasteful to use?

Crystal cat litter, also called silica gel cat litter, is a new type of cat litter with a white granular appearance. It is used as pet filler for cats or other animals. It brings a new method of treating pet feces. It belongs to the category of pet cleaning supplies and is the latest and most ideal pet waste cleaner. It has unique effects that traditional cat litter products cannot match. It can not only absorb pet liquid urine and solid feces, but also quickly and comprehensively absorb odors, thereby maintaining pet health and keeping the air fresh. Silica gel crystal cat litter is a highly active adsorbent material, usually produced by reacting sodium silicate and sulfuric acid, and undergoing a series of post-processing processes such as aging and acid soaking.

Crystal cat litter is a water-absorbent cat litter. Its main component is silica gel particles. It is dust-free and has good water absorption and can directly absorb cat urine. The crystal cat litter will turn yellow after absorbing water but will not clump. It needs to be cleaned and replaced only when more than 80% of the cat litter turns yellow or until all the crystal cat litter changes color. It is very suitable for lazy shovels.

Compared with traditional cat litter, crystal cat litter is loved by many cat litter owners in terms of efficacy and appearance. However, many cat litter owners feel that crystal cat litter is very wasteful to use after using crystal cat litter. Sand, this results in "cheap to buy but expensive to use".

In fact, the ingredients of crystal cat litter and desiccant are the same, which is the common silica gel desiccant on the market, so crystal cat litter has very good water absorption. Because it has the same ingredients as the desiccant, crystal cat litter also has the characteristics of the desiccant: strong adsorption capacity and good deodorization. It can absorb the odor in cat urine and feces, prevent the odor from dispersing, and keep the air in the room fresh.

Crystal cat litter has very little dust, unlike traditional cat litter which has a lot of dust, so you don’t have to worry about the cat litter having an adverse effect on the cat’s respiratory tract. Because crystal cat litter does not clump, it will change color only when it encounters liquid. Cat's poop needs to be cleaned up in time. Don't leave the cat's poop alone just because crystal cat litter has strong odor absorption ability. Usually after 80% of the cat litter in the cat litter box changes color, you should consider replacing the cat litter.

Usually when using crystal cat litter, it is enough to spread cat litter with a thickness of about 3.5 cm on the bottom of the cat litter box. If there are more cats at home, you can increase the frequency of cat litter changes instead of increasing the thickness of the cat litter. Usually a 3.6L bag of crystal cat litter is enough for one cat to use for a month. So for two cats, it’s about 15 days, and for three cats, it’s about 10 days. After absorbing the saturated cat litter, shovel it out of the cat litter box in time.

One thing to note is that because the ingredients of dust free crystal cat litter are the same as those of desiccant, the cat litter box must be placed in a dry and ventilated place, otherwise the crystal cat litter will also absorb moisture in the air, which will greatly shorten the life of the cat. The usage time of cat litter. So don’t complain that crystal cat litter is wasted. If you use the right method, you can find that you can save half of it.
