This is for a guest bathroom, where the cat's litter box is currently stored. The litter box is cleaned daily, vacuumed every other day, and I generally make an attempt to keep it tidy. But still... it's a litter box space.
Does a non-chemically, light plug in air freshener exist? Or do you have a recommendation for a clean lightly scented freshener to keep the space smelling fresh? |
NO.
please just no. omg I cannot imagine anything worse guest accommodation wise then arriving to a guest bathroom with a plug in and a cat littler box. please tell me you don't leave the litter box there when you actually have guests. the answer is ventilation (run exhaust and open a window) and a heap air filter. not spewing plug in chemicals or essential tea tree oil or some other crap into the air. signed, asthmatic |
I'll never understand why people respond with these completely unsolicited responses based on their own particular circumstances. |
You could do an air purifier with an active carbon filter. Active carbon is good at absorbing smells. |
*1 so disgusting |
Keep it smelling fresh with ventilation, baking soda, vinegar, opening a window, running a hepa filter, etc. Not by masking with a plug in.
Please do not make guests share a bathroom with a litter box. Unless your goal is for them to never return. |

This is why owning cats is nasty. The stench of litter boxes is totally disgusting. Op no worries I don't think anyone want to go to your house. |
Completely agree. I’m allergic to cats thankfully, otherwise my husband would get one. |
I agree that you shouldn’t try to mask the smell. And I say that as someone who likes the occasional scented candle/essential oil diffuser! Best options:
1. Move the litter box elsewhere 2. Tiny tabletop air purifier with carbon filter 3. Hang a charcoal odor absorbing bag somewhere close to the litter box and “recharge” it monthly (needs to sit outside in sun for a few hours) |
No. |
Consider a covered litterbox with a charcoal filter on it. You'll need to change the filter regularly. Even better if it has a fan contraption to pull air through the filter. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/BioStrike-Litter-Remover-System-Filter/dp/B07QV3PWW9
There are also deionizers like this one from Chewy. I don't know if it works, but it's the closest you'll see to what you're looking for. https://www.chewy.com/petdiary-deodorizer-odor-eliminator/dp/534646 |
Get rid of the cat |
Whoa. Talk about over the top responses. Get rid of the cat so they can have the pleasure of house guests! Hah!
It isn’t clear from OP’s post if the litter box is staying in the guest bathroom. But guests are more than welcome to stay at a hotel if they are disturbed by a cat or a litter box. We keep ours in the laundry room and I assume anyone who can’t cope not asking to stay at our house. |
