Quick Answer
Use a litter scoop with a built-in waste bag dispenser to scoop clumps and immediately seal them in the attached bag. This method reduces odor and mess compared to carrying waste to a separate bin.
Why a Scoop-and-Bag Combo Saves Time
Separate scooping and bagging steps often lead to dropped clumps or lingering odors. A combo tool like the Arm & Hammer Deluxe 2-In-1 keeps the bag right on the handle so you can scoop, drop, and seal in one motion. This is especially helpful for multi-cat households where you scoop several times a day.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Prepare the Scoop: Load the handle with a fresh waste bag from the built-in dispenser. Pull the bag out enough to open it fully. Make sure the bag is fully open before you start scooping to avoid missing the opening.
- Scoop Clumps: Use the slotted scoop to lift clumps and sift out clean litter. Aim for a single smooth motion to minimize dust. Don't overload the scoop — too many clumps can spill when you transfer them to the bag.
- Drop and Seal: Position the scoop directly over the open bag and tilt it to release the waste. Pull the bag closed and tie it off using the integrated handle cap or your fingers. Seal the bag immediately to trap odors. A loose knot lets smells escape.
- Dispose and Refill: Place the sealed bag in your trash bin. If your scoop has a refill slot, snap in a new bag from the handle dispenser for the next use. Check the dispenser after each use — running out mid-scoop defeats the purpose of the combo.
