Bentonite: how a clump forms

Where clumping comes from and why it means you use less litter.

AI visualisation

Bentonite is a natural clay rock. When it gets wet it swells and binds neighbouring granules into a firm clump.

Where the clump comes from

Qweta is sodium-activated bentonite. It absorbs moisture fast and strongly, so the clump forms right where the litter got wet and the liquid does not run down to the bottom of the box.

Why it pays off

You remove only what is used. The rest stays dry. Just top the layer up to 5–6 cm and replace everything once a month.

One important rule

The same property rules out the toilet for disposal. Bentonite swells in pipes just as it does in the litter box. Throw used litter into mixed waste.
