Steps
Unplug the Neakasa M1 from the wall before you start. Never clean the base or motor unit with water while it is powered.
Lift off the top cover and remove the drum or litter chamber. Empty the old litter into a trash bag and set the parts aside.
Take out the waste drawer and tip the used liner into the trash. Wipe the drawer inside and out with a pet-safe wipe.
Wash the drum and cover with warm water and a little mild dish soap. Rinse well so no soap residue is left behind.
Wipe the base, sensors and motor area with a damp cloth only. Keep water away from the electronics and the weight sensors.
Use pet-safe wipes on the inside walls and the entrance lip where litter dust builds up. Pay attention to corners and seams.
Let every part air dry completely before you put the box back together. Damp parts cause clumping and odors.
Reassemble the M1, fit a fresh liner in the drawer and add clean litter to the fill line.
Plug the unit back in and run a cycle to check the sensors and the rake or drum move freely.
Tips and common mistakes
Never submerge the base or motor unit in water, even briefly.
Clean the waste drawer every few days and do the full deep clean about once a month.
Use only pet-safe cleaners, since cats lick their paws and litter box surfaces.
If the box smells after cleaning, check the carbon filter and replace it.
Questions
How often should I deep clean the Neakasa M1?
A full deep clean about once a month works for most homes. Empty the waste drawer every few days and top up litter as needed.
Can I put the Neakasa M1 parts in the dishwasher?
No. Wash the drum and cover by hand with mild soap and warm water, then let them air dry fully.
What should I do if the M1 still smells after cleaning?
Replace the carbon filter and check the drawer seal for trapped litter. Wash the drum again if clumps stuck to the sides.
