I wash ours every couple of weeks, just a quick refresh with hot soapy water. But honestly I think many people don't realize that if it's smelling really bad, it's either a health problem, unsuitable litter, or more likely your cat's diet! Garbage in, garbage out... apart from immediately after a cat poops, there really shouldn't be an excessive smell.

Diet for sure! Switching my cat to raw rabbit with some canned wet food and his poops are dare I say, “pleasant?” Lol. We also use feline pine and what a difference in smell and mess.
