If you are a cat owner, then chances are, you have at one time or another been faced with the problem of pollutions within your house. The main cause of it comes from using cat litter that are dusty and the tracking left behind after your cat use the litter box.

There has been increasing evidence from the US Environmental Protection Agency that indoor pollutions are getting worse. And since we are spending most of our time at home, it's only right that we should keep the air clean and free from dust.

Have you notice the plume of dust that "flies" around whenever you pour cat litter into the litter box? Or the tracks of dust that your cat left behind after each visit to the litter box? Unknown to many, these dust pollutants may cause allergies, bronchitis, sinusitis or even asthma in sensitive individuals.

A solution to this would be to replace dusty synthetic cat litter with a low dust or dust free all natural litter instead like pine pellets or corn based pellets cat litter.

To reduce tracking, it helps by using a pad or stepping ramp some litter boxes come with a pad or ramp built in, and while they may cost more, the cost is generally worth it. When a ramp is installed properly, the cat must walk on it while exiting the litter box. For cost cutting cat guardians, a homemade ramp built with wood and lined with felt or a similar material works quite well. Litter that has stuck to the paws of the cat will stay on the ramp, keeping your floors clean as long as you keep the ramp clean.

While litter tracking may not be entirely eliminated, these measures may help to address the problem. Keeping floors swept and vacuumed will also help to cut down on particulate material tracked around the house, including litter.
