Carpets
Make it a habit to clean your carpets frequently. You will be surprised to find the amount of fur and dirt piling up if not done so. If left unattended, it will also create an unpleasant stench which can be a really nasty experience for your visiting guests.
Alternatively, simply avoid having carpets and save all the hassle of cleaning! Hard flooring is definitely easier to clean particularly for fur, vomit and potty mistakes.
Litter boxes
Always have multiple litter boxes available in the house and remember, maintain them by checking and scooping daily! If you want to avoid having any funky smell lingering around your house, daily maintenance of litter boxes for your multi-cat household is a must. Besides, no one likes going to a dirty toilet do they? The same applies for our cats.
To prevent messes and allow for easy scooping, it is advisable to get a clumping, dust-free and non-tracking litter.
Kitty room
Keep all cat stuff in a room separated from yours if possible. This means easier clean-ups as the mess will be contained in a room instead of spread throughout the house.
Frequent vacuuming and cleaning
