Follow these steps.

Remove the tray from the machine and rinse it under warm water.

Mix equal parts vinegar and baking soda in a small container. You should get foam.

Apply foam to the inside of the tray and leave for 15-20 minutes.

Scrub the tray with a brush or sponge, paying attention to corners and crevices.

Rinse the tray under clean water and dry it with a cloth.

Place the tray back into the machine and run an empty wash cycle with vinegar added to the detergent compartment.

Repeat this procedure once a month and your litter box will be clean and fresh.
