First, ensure it is stored in a sealed container. Cat litter is highly absorbent; if left unsealed after opening, it can easily absorb moisture from the air, leading to clumping. You can secure the bag opening with a clip or transfer the litter into a plastic bucket or storage bin with an airtight lid.
Second, choose a dry environment. Store the cat litter in a dry location-such as an indoor cabinet or storage closet-and avoid damp areas like basements or bathrooms. Humidity can cause the litter to deteriorate, thereby reducing its effectiveness.
Furthermore, pay attention to temperature. The storage temperature should be moderate; room temperature is ideal. High temperatures may alter the litter's composition, while low temperatures can impair its clumping performance.
Finally, avoid direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can accelerate the degradation of the litter and compromise its odor-control and clumping capabilities, so it should be kept in a cool, shaded place.
