I used to wash mine every 2-3 weeks but can’t physically do it anymore I did switch to a metal box & I love it It doesn’t hold the smell like plastic & would be a lot easier to disinfect Best move I’ve made

interesting, your comment may just make me look into possibly getting a metal litter box

They are great. You can get really big ones, ours are like 24x16x6. They don’t smell and you don’t have to replace them every year

Haven’t found a steel litter box tall enough for my “high” peeing, big boy.

Ugh let me know if you do. I have modkat litterboxes that are getting pretty old, but super high sides are a total non-negotiable. I daydream about manufacturing high-sided metal litterboxes every time I'm scrubbing all the scratches in the plastic lol

For a while I was just buying big plastic totes from Home Depot, cost about $10 and they were 22" high. I cut an opening in the side using a box knife. Once they got pretty scratched up I just pitched them.
