IMO, you saved yourself work - it is easier to pull a layer of paper than clean poop off the grate - even if it is less than a day oldI was doing it every morning. But... then I decided to try papers on the grate... so that helps keep the poop off the grate. But I still clean papers daily. So Im not sure if I added more work or not.
Same!Covered with paper here, too, so only occasionally when it needs it. Paper gets changed every day.
