Tips for getting rid of cat sand/litter smell? (slrpnk.net)

Hi!

So curious if anyone has any tips regarding this. We have our cat litter in the washroom of the house. The current cat sand we use has a distinct smell. While we are experimenting with different types of sand, they all, so far, have some sort of smell to them. Obviously it will also smell extra bad whenever the cats use the litter box. While we do remove the litter as soon as possible, we are curious if there are ways to at least mask the smell of the sand with something else... Anyone got any tips?

We use swheat scoop and it is pretty neutral and if you clean it regularly, doesn’t smell much

This is what we are using for our six cats. Unless there was a particularly potent turd dropped there is very little odor. After each cleaning we top the litter with arm and hammer odor powder (I forget exactly what it is called, but it is an orange box and made for deodorizing litter boxes)
