LitterCleanupHome Setup
Quick answer: Litter tracking gets better when the exit path is managed well, not when you only switch litters and hope for the best.
Tracked litter spreads because the box exit, nearby floor, and cleanup routine are all working against you. The solution is usually a combination of better layout and faster floor maintenance.
What changes tracking most
- A better mat in the real exit zone
- A box that reduces explosive launches
- Fast cleanup with a stick vacuum or easy broom
Final takeaway
Treat litter tracking as a layout problem first. The right exit path can cut cleanup more than another litter experiment.
