Using your Catit PIXI cat litter scoop is a breeze. Simply hold the comfortable handle and insert the scoop into the litter box. Use the wide surface to gather up a good amount of litter. The large openings will let the clean litter fall through while keeping the debris in the scoop. When you're done scooping, hang it up using the integrated hook for easy storage. As for maintenance, give it a rinse with water every now and then to keep it clean. Just make sure not to use any harsh chemicals that could damage the durable materials. And always store it in a dry place to prevent rust or deterioration.
