Cat people, how often do you replace plastic kitty litter pans?

[irisblue]

I wash the pans that my 2 uses, with Murphy oil soap on a rotating schedule. I have 2 stainless steel & 1 eighteen month old plastic pan that is showing wear & tear

1. Never

I have a heavy-duty rubberized pan that I've had for years. I only need to clean it every couple of years. Thankfully!

7. I have six for my four furry friends

and I scrub them out about once a year. Been doing that for a number of years......about 25 or so.
I have always had cats, some times more, some times less. Only have the four presently.

2. I got a stainless one

and so far have not had to replace it.

3. I have 2 plastic ones and never had to replace one.

Had one for 16+ years. Maybe old enough to be made well?

4. Every few years, when they show signs of cracks or other wear and tear.

5. IrisBlue, I use Murpys Oil soap

to clean the cat's box (Ben), too! I have not found the need to replace it, yet. It's cracked a little at the handle (but, it doesn't affect the pans sturdiness, and the fracture is not of hazard to the cat).

6. I've never had one fail

... but I'm sure it would just need a rinse to drop it into the recycle bin (we get big 88 gallon ones on wheels, so I know it'd fit).

8. Well geez, I'm embarrassed to say I've never washed a cat box!

I just replace them if they get gross. And I’ve hardly ever needed to replace one.
