Hunting nappy bins at the moment. For zee cat litter. Turns out when you live in a house that isn't basically an open tent you can smell the turdbucket. Anyone rec? We're looking at nappy bins for the scent control, will just hold pee cakes, and we want to be able to put our own sugar spun garbage bags in, none of that tomee tippy individual baggy shit.

I'm not familiar with nappy bins but nappy buckets come with fitted lids that are pretty smell proof. They hold about 20 litres.

three cats, one with renal issues so he pisses like a firehose. We have a bukket, but it's rapidly depreciating in value :/ Also a pain when we do the weekly complete-empty-scrubdown of the boxxen.

so looking for higher volume better stank containment. The new place has the laundry / litter box on a western facing side of the house so it's kinda accelerating matters, even with religious cleaning and enzyme spray

Nappy buckets are thicker and better quality. They are made to keep shit in. Literally. They are smell proof. I still have one 17 years later and use it to soak sheets and clothes in it.

yah, but as I said we have a bucket, it's literally a nappy bucket, but it's no longer serving.

If i could get one of the ol' 80's ones that in my childhood got repurposed as giant lego tubs I'd be stoked.

This what I have. You just burp it and it seals tight.

bucket.

If you are already using enzyme spray I’ve not much to offer. There is an Indoor biscuit that reduces stink poo slightly, but that won’t work if your culprit is on renal food.
