Sometimes, clearing waste from a litter box isn't enough which is why we created the Petmate® Classic Litter Scoop. This scoop comes with antimicrobial protection. Created from durable plastic, this sifter features Microban technology for anti-microbial protection to fight against the growth of stains, bacteria, mold, and mildew. This means you don't just scoop your litter box clean. It keeps odor-causing bacteria from destroying the comfort of your home! The handle is specially designed to be user-friendly, so it's easy to scoop with a single easy motion, and it's made with a durable material that is designed to last for years.
