Animal litters and in particular cat litter are in wide spread use. This invention is concerned with a process whereby the odors which are emitted by used animal litters and in particular cat litter are eliminated or controlled. Odor control in accordance with this invention is effected by the utilization of an animal litter which is treated with a halo sulfonamide compound. In use the halo sulfonamide compound reacts with odorous nitrogen and sulfur bearing compounds which are contained on the litter, as a result of animal waste being positioned on the litter. The halo sulfonamide compound reacts with the nitrogen and sulfur compounds to reduce these compounds to a non odorous format. Wipes for animal litter boxes may further be created by treating textiles with solutions of halo sulfonamide compounds. This invention is particularly effective in controlling odors which originate with used cat litter.
An odor control animal litter which comprises a substrate which is treated with an effective amount of an N-halogenated sulfonamide aromatic compound which is compatible with the substrate.
A process for treating a used animal litter box which comprises wiping the animal litter box with a porous material which is impregnated with a solution of a N-halogenated sulfonamide aromatic compound.
