Cat litter smell in my house

[Anonymous]

We have the cat litter box in our basement and it is stinking up our entire first floor. It smells like (clean) cat litter constantly. Is there anything I can do about this? It is driving me crazy.

Could you try a different brand? We use World's Best, which is pretty inoffensive smelling.

Thanks PP - where do you get world's best?

Is it in the same room as your HVAC unit? Is your AC on? It's bringing up the smell through the ducts.

Me too OP. My solution: wait until our cats die and NEVER get another cat. Sorry, that doesn't help you now.

I did see furnace filters with charcoal designed to reduce odors at Target last week.

Our HVAC is in the attic. I do think its coming up through vents but old ones that were used for coal burning or something. I wonder if there is a way to block those.

My neighbor's cat died months ago, and I still smell it when I go over there. Yuck.

We try to use unscented litter since we also can't stand the smell of scented litter.

I'm also considering the purchase of an air purifier for the room in our basement where we keep the litterboxes.
