The go-to solution for large litter areas or multi-box setups — hardware store carpet runners can be cut to any size, vacuumed easily, and cover far more floor than any pre-cut litter mat. Ideal for closets or laundry rooms.
If you have multiple boxes or need to cover a large area, no pre-cut mat can compete with a carpet runner from Home Depot. Cut it to size, vacuum it weekly, replace it when it's done — simple and cheap.
“If you're looking for something cheaper, you could go to your hardware store and cut a 12-foot section of bulk carpet runner to put in. This will vacuum better. But it will hold onto hair more obviously.”
