Using the Deluxe Fresh Kitty Cat Litter Scoop is super easy. Just insert the scoop into the litter box and gently sift through the litter to pick up clumps and waste. It's best to do this regularly to keep the litter box clean. When you're done cleaning, simply empty the contents of the scoop into a trash bag. As for maintenance, wash the scoop with mild soap and water after each use to keep it hygienic. Store it in a dry place. Remember, the color you receive might not be the one you see exactly, so don't be surprised if it's a bit different. Also, choose the size that suits your litter box best for maximum efficiency.
