I live in a carpeted apartment so I will need to clean a bit more regularly (which is ok!) so I can't wash outside unfortunately! Although I could wash indoors and let dry in the balc.
About the lounger, do you just stick it on a window?
Letting dry on the balcony will do, especially if its in the sun. The aim is to disinfect, not just clean.
I just hose mine off, use household disinfectant as per instructions and rinse off. If I'm in a rush I'll dry with a rag but leave it out in the sun if i can.
Regarding litterboxes, I have heard metal is easier to keep clean as the plastic ones will get scratches, which will harbour the bacteria. Personally haven't had any issues yet as long as I clean it properly, and it's also not easy to find in stores except online. So what you get will do just fine.
Yep to the lounger. It can take a few days for it to find the happy spot where it suddenly doesn't come unstuck and send the resident cat on an unplanned descent, but it really is that simple.
