I’ll just reinforce what

has said about cleaning the box; sorry for being drastic but imagine you’re going to the toilet and poop from several hours ago is still there not flushed.. would you happily use it again? So I actually emphasize with your cat choices Especially if you can only have limited number of boxes, cleaning it impeccably is super important. Maybe try to engage other family members in this duty?
Personally I’m skeptical about the silica litter, lots of cats don’t like how it feels under their paws, and it’s not easy to keep it clean if it’s not clumping and pee simply stay there until you change the whole thing- and if cleanliness is that important for your cat, I wouldn’t risk this type of litter. If you’re going to use cheap clay one just make sure it’s not too dusty, as that won’t help.
But have you tried other natural, non clay ones? Like corn litter, grass seed litter (my personal favorite), walnut litter.. there are some options to try to see if she likes something more than the other?
Other things to consider is how much litter you keep in the box, most cats like generous amount.
And yeah, if you can find some space for another big box to locate some place else, that could also help.
Good luck!
