One thing nobody mentioned for the don'ts part....
Never mix bleach and ammonia.
On the do's, keep a old toothbrush next to the kitchen sink. Never know when there's something small that you just can't get to.
Cat litter. You don't have to buy the expensive kind. I've found a bottle of stuff that you can shake into your box that neutralizes the smell and it's lavender. I like lavander lol
Lighter fluid is good at removing those stupid stickers they put on the bottom of pots and pans. You're going to be washing the thing anyway, might as well make it easier to get the sticker off. Alcohol will always work. I've heard nail polish remover does, but I don't have nails long enough to polish.
If you have room in your car, put a pillow and blanket. Doesn't have to be large ones, but sometimes someone in the car will be too cold from the A/C. And help full if you want a nap when on long trips and stopping at a rest stop on the highway.
If your cat will let you, mine won't, latex gloves no powder, will help remove the hair. Also works good on clothes and furniture if you can't find your lint brush.
And I've probably mentioned the most silliest things I've come up with.
