Continuously neutralizing litter box odors is no small feat, so just imagine what cat litter could do for other household odors!\n</p><p>Another advantage of using cat litter is that it is highly absorbent. (It has to contend with cat urine, after all!) Unpleasant odors are often related to dampness and moisture, and cat litter can help draw out any moisture that might be contributing to the odor.\n</p><p>When you take both the deodorizing and absorbent effects of cat litter into consideration, the idea of using it to fight odors on other surfaces suddenly doesn\u2019t seem quite so far-fetched!\n</p><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-11513 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/07%5C/deodorize-2.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"745\"' height='\"931\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/legendstitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/deodorize-2.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><h4>What Can I Deodorize With Cat Litter?\n</h4><p>One of the best applications for this method is to freshen up items that you can\u2019t wash in your washing machine. It\u2019s also useful for eliminating odors from items that are technically machine-washable, but that shouldn\u2019t be washed very frequently.\n</p><p>For example, I try to avoid washing my rugs too frequently because I\u2019ve found that the backing eventually starts to peel away after a certain number of washes. So cat litter is a great option for keeping those types of items fresh between washes!\n</p><p><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-11514 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/07%5C/deodorize-3.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"745\"' height='\"491\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/legendstitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/deodorize-3.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Here are some other things you could deodorize with the help of cat litter:\n</p><ul>\n<li>Rugs\n</li><li>Furniture cushions\n</li><li>Curtains\n</li><li>Heirloom quilts\n</li><li>Lace\n</li><li>Shoes\n</li><li>Pet beds\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how it\u2019s done, so you can try this method at home for yourself!\n</p><h5>How To Use Cat Litter To Eliminate Odors\n</h5><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-11515 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/07%5C/deodorize-4.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"745\"' height='\"497\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/legendstitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/deodorize-4.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>You\u2019ll need:\n</p><ul>\n<li>Cat litter (any odor-eliminating variety will work)\n</li><li>Large trash bags\n\n<h5>Directions:\n</h5><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-11516 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/07%5C/deodorize-5.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"745\"' height='\"931\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/legendstitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/deodorize-5.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Take the item that you want to deodorize and put it into a large, sturdy trash bag.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-11517 aligncenter src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/07%5C/deodorize-6.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"745\"' height='\"931\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/legendstitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/deodorize-6.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Pour a generous amount of cat litter into the trash bag.
