Pet Litter Boxes: How Microban Technology Helps Keep Cat Homes Fresher

Cat ownership brings joy, companionship, and comfort to millions of homes - but it can also come with one unwelcome challenge: litter box odor. Even with regular cleaning, unpleasant smells can persist, creating frustration for pet owners and discomfort throughout the household.

The issue often goes deeper than surface-level cleanliness. Odors can develop when bacteria and mold grow on litter boxes, tools, and pet accessories—a challenge traditional cleaning methods alone can’t fully address.

That’s where innovative technologies like Microban antimicrobial protection make a difference.

The science behind Microban odor-control protection for pet products

Microban antimicrobial technologies can be integrated into a wide range of materials during manufacturing, providing continuous surface protection against microbial growth. Once built in, the technology becomes a permanent part of the product, meaning it won't wash off, leach out, or wear away.

The technology works 24/7 to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria and mold on treated surfaces, effectively supporting cleaner, fresher products. This invisible yet powerful protection helps extend the useful life of pet tools and complements regular cleaning routines, providing added peace of mind for pet owners.
