Very true.  We tried everything before someone told us about vinegar...
and it has been the *only* thing that neutralizes the "bathroom" odor
well enough to keep ultra-sensitive fuzzy noses from still being able to
detect it.
 
On a slightly different note, THANK YOU to whoever it was (several people,
I think) that suggested the newspaper in the corners.  Our ferrets hit the
litter boxes in the cage 100% of the time, but like to try to go in front
of the litter boxes when out & about.  We had tried everything to solve
this, but finally gave up and put plastic runners in the spots we put the
litter boxes in.  However, that still leaves a mess to clean up off the
plastic.  So I recently started putting newspaper on top of the plastic &
under the boxes...
 
Our ferrets hate the newspaper so much that they now refuse to go anywhere
but in the litter boxes that are in their cage!  LOL!
