Using this product is a breeze. First, take the included litter scoop with the unique slot pattern and start scooping the clumps from the litter box. Once you're done, simply place the scoop back into the cat - shaped holder. This will keep the area around the litter box neat and organized. When it comes to maintenance, since it has a hand - washable design, you can wash it with mild soap and water whenever it gets dirty. As for color options, you can choose either black or white to match your home decor. Just be careful not to use harsh chemicals on the holder or the scoop, as this could damage the plastic. And that's all there is to it! Enjoy a cleaner and more stylish cat - care experience.
