How to Keep Your Cat Scratcher Clean and Hygienic

A cat scratcher is a favorite spot for your cat – perfect for stretching, resting, and playing. To keep it clean, fresh, and hygienic, a little maintenance goes a long way. The good news is that with WoodenCatTree, maintenance is easy thanks to removable and washable covers.

1️⃣ Regular Vacuuming and Wiping

Even if your cat uses the scratcher briefly, fur, dust, and debris can accumulate on the surface.

• Use a vacuum with an upholstery attachment or a soft brush.

• Wipe the surface lightly with a damp cloth if it gets dirty.

This keeps the scratcher clean and allergen-free, without needing frequent washing.

2️⃣ Washing Removable Covers

The covers on our scratchers can be easily washed at 30°C without using a dryer.

• Frequent washing is not necessary – just vacuum, brush, or wipe with a damp clothregularly.

• In case of accidents, the covers can be washed. For example, we wash ours about once a year.

This ensures the scratcher stays clean, hygienic, and ready for your cat.

3️⃣ Disinfecting and Freshening

If you have multiple cats or long-haired breeds, occasionally disinfect the scratcher with a gentle, pet-safe spray.

• Never use harsh chemicals that could deter your cat.

• Natural sprays or pheromone sprays help keep a pleasant and inviting environment.
