Best Sifting Litter Box Liners To Keep The Litter Box Clean

Sifting litter box liners make cleaning the litter box easier because the solid matter (clumps) stays in the liner, while the unused litter sifts through to the next liner.

Change the sifting liner once a day or when you decide that it needs changing.

Lift the top liner (there are other liners underneath), gather the corners and shake the liner gently. 

Then tie the liner or use the drawstring if the liner has a drawstring and dispose of the soiled litter and liner.

Sifting cat litter liners makes cleaning the litter box easier because there are no stuck on or hardened clumps on the bottom of the box.

These sifting litter liners are labelled extra giant.

They don’t have an elastic band sewn into the liner, however they do supply one large rubber band per box, that can be placed over the edge of the box to help keep the liner in place.

Because of the extra giant size they are labelled as fitting most pans that are labelled Giant or Extra Large.

Alfapet Kitty suggests that there is no need to scoop and that the litter can be sifted and the bag and all its contents thrown away. I would suggest that some scooping still goes a long way towards extending the life of using the bag plus it will cut down on odors.

These bags are a good choice for clumping kitty litter.

To use, put all of the liners into the litter box with the transfer liner at the bottom.  Then pour the litter into the box.  Fit the elastic band and trim the edges of the liner if desired.

The sifting holes are large enough to not clog and to sift quickly, without letting through any used litter.

Pros

The size will fit most large litter boxes and can be trimmed to fit different shaped boxes such as round litter boxes.

Cons

These bags are non biodegradable.

The bags are plastic but the type of plastic is unknown.

The bags state that they have Sta-Put Technology which must be a plus but do not elaborate on how this works or what it is.

Specifications

The liners measure at 40” x 38” x 1Mil.

There are ten sifting liners in each box plus one rubber band and a transfer liner.

This offer is for three boxes of ten liners. 100% money back guarantee. The bags are made from plastic.

Maybe you haven’t used litter box liners before? Did you know there are different types of cat litter box liners? This article describes the different types of litter box liners and the different way in which they all work.

2. Sift Clean Liners

Supply-Shop Sift Clean Liners (36in x 40in)
  • Excellent results with most clay litters.
  • Extends litter life 50% and more.
  • Keeps litter box cleaner.
  • Fits most regular and hooded litter pans.

The necessary rubber band to secure the sifting liners is included plus 2 solid liners.  This is inline with other products reviewed on this page.

The liners work best with clumping and corn litter types and fit almost all regular and hooded litter pans.

These litter bags claim to have unique closable sifting holes. Unique losable sifting holes, indicate that the holes can be closed off. I couldn’t find any documentation of how this works. The sifting holes appeared to be the same as other sifting liners.

I do have to say though that customers are loyal to the brand.

Pros

Easy to separate from each other in the box.

Handle the weight of the litter well.

Customers that have used this product for many years is a very good endorsement of the product.

Cons

Perhaps not a good choice for jumbo litter boxes that have a high back and a low front as it can be awkward to fit the front and the back properly because of the height difference.  This does depend on the size of the box. The best liner in this case would be the Alfapet Kitty as they are slightly larger overall in size 38 x 40 inches.

Could not find the thickness measurement of the liners.

Specifications

These liners measure 36 x 40 inches. 28 sifting liners are included. The litter liners are made from plastic and are unscented. The thickness measurement is unknown.

Biodegradable cat litter bags are a relatively new addition to the pet market. We all want to reduce plastic. There is still a fair amount of confusion about what is biodegradable and what is compostable. This article explains some of the basics.

3. Van Ness Extra Giant Sifting Liners

Van Ness Extra Giant Sifting Cat Pan Liners…
  • Extra giant sifting cat pan liner
  • Made from 100-percent recycled plastic
  • 10-Count per package

A rubber band is included to keep the liners in place. VanNess does make other cat litter liners but these ones are the only ones that are sifting liners. 

Some found the quality of plastic to be quite thin particularly as the bag needs to be lifted for sifting. These liners are reasonably priced for the budget conscious.

Pros

Recycled materials are used for the liners. Five stars for this!

Cons

The thickness is given as 3ply rather than in Mils.  There is no way to compare the thickness when the thickness is given in a different measurement compared to other sifting liners.

Specifications

The liners are made from 100% recycled plastic. There are 10 sifting liners in one box. The measurement given for thickness is 3 ply. These liners will fit a litter box that measures up to 22 inches by 18 inches.

Do you happen to have a Modkat litter box? Their liners are the best and can be reused as the liners are made from rip resistant tarpaulin. There are different types for different Modkat designs.

How To Use Sifting Cat Litter Liners

  1. Place the non perforated liner at the bottom of the box. This is to protect the bottom of the box when there is only one sifting liner left to use.

  2. Push the liners into the box.  I say push because it will be necessary to push the liners into the corner. Begin by using several liners until you are used to the routine of using a sifting liner. Some liners come in packs of 28 and the whole 28 can be used at once if desired.
  3. Pour in the litter carefully, don’t dump it in.

  4. Fit the included rubber band around the edge of the box to secure the liners.

  5. Decide when the litter needs to be sifted.  This may depend on how many cats use the litter box. Remove the rubber band.  Hold the bags at the corners.  Some people tie the corners together.
     
  6. Lift and shake gently.

  7. Remove the bag into a waiting trash bag. A waiting trash bag in a bucket provides stability. Or use a Litter Genie.

  8. Top up the litter box with some fresh litter. Replace the elastic band.

  9. Dispose of the used liner and soiled litter. That’s it!

Tips for Using Sifting Cat Litter Liners

It may take some time to get used to sifting cat litter liners.  Don’t abandon them because they don’t work as you may have expected. You may need to try a different brand.  

Don’t vigorously shake the liner when sifting, rather move it from side to side twisting your wrist then shaking your wrist. You will become used to how much movement you need depending on the liners you are using.  

If you find the elastic band too difficult to put around the box, try using clamps.  Four clamps will do the job just as well.

If you are using multiple liners in a hooded litter box or a box that has an added shield, only layer 5 liners, to ensure that the clips on the box will still close easily.

Remember to top up the litter once the clean litter is sifted onto a new liner.

To remove the liner, take hold of two corners. Twist them together and then repeat with the other corners.

Using sifting litter liners is definitely helpful, rather than having to scoop the litter box in the traditional way. 

Traditional cat litter scoops do mean that you will need to bend down, stoop or kneel to scoop the box. 

Another good option to avoid bending or stooping is to use a litter scoop for cats that has longer handles.

If you are dealing with the hassle of cleaning litter boxes, consider using sifting litter liners.

Sifting litter liners are a great option if you have multiple cats and need to clean their boxes on a regular basis.

It can also help keep your home smelling fresh because it eliminates any odors that may linger.
