Fresh Step Advanced Simply Unscented Clumping Litter, Fresh Step Unscented Cat Litter Fights Odor on Contact, 37 lbs. (2 x 18.5 lb. Box) by Fresh Step

One of the best cat litter, a bit expensive but it’s the best

I am a new convert to this litter as of a few months ago! I have been using Dr. Elsey’s for a couple years and just couldn’t handle the quality inconsistency and glue-like clumps. I also tried the unscented versions of Tidy Cat and they smelled bad really fast. I got really tired of trying cat litters, but this one had mostly good reviews so I thought I’d give it a shot.

I have two male cats, one litter box (works fine for them) and I scoop religiously every morning and evening. I fully change out the litter every 2 weeks. One of my cats pees on the high sides of the litter box, onto a liner and then the pee drips down into the litter. I always had issues with Dr. Elsey’s because it stuck to the side and then broke apart in gross-smelly, gluey clumps when I tried to scrape it off. This Fresh Step litter makes hard clumps and absorbs super fast. That being said, I don’t shake the clumps very much when I scoop, since I don’t like taking the chance of a clump breaking apart.

Honestly, there IS some dust when I pour in the new litter. I don’t mind this. I don’t notice any dust when the cats are digging. It is not excessive, and (don’t hate me) I think the VERY slight dusty quality makes the scent absorbency better.

The scent absorbency is another award I’d give. I hate smelling cat litter, whether it’s the pee or the perfumey scent added by the litter company. This is unscented AND it covers scents so well! I had major scent issues in the past with every litter I’ve ever tried. Dr. Elsey’s was sometimes OK, sometimes horrible, and I could never figure out why.

Anyway, I love this stuff and I will probably be a customer for life! I am set up to get a 37lb set of boxes every 2 weeks and that works well for a large litter box with 2 cats.

I have had many cats over the years and tried about every litter on the market from crystals to pine to standard clays and clumping. I mean EVERY type of litter and brand. This is my favorite so far! Pros: clumps well with less “gooey” clumps that tend to form when my cat goes near the edge of the box, which is often. He’s really big, weighs about 18-19 lbs, and he’s a big water drinker. Always has been, it’s not a health issue. So he goes a lot. Not little clumps you see in the ads, more like the size of a baseball. This litter does a way better job of absorbing it than most others. There is literally no smell, no perfume cover up, no cloying dust smell, no feces smell (if he decides to cover it up that day), and absolutely no urine odor. I use a large stainless steel pan (another game changer as it doesn’t hold any odors like plastic does) due to his size and I put the entire box in when I start fresh. I do scoop daily and replenish a bit once a week. I can get 3-4 weeks out of 2 boxes of litter before I dump and clean the pan to start fresh again. The only con is the price but then again, the pros are worth a little extra cost to me. It makes life easier, my nose happier, and my cat uses it, unlike some others he hated (crystals were not a hit for either of us). I’m on subscription for this one now. Get it. You won’t regret it.

Fresh step litter is a very good product. No odors with this. Depending on the formula bought some come across rather strongly scented but I don’t have a problem after an hour or so. It’s a pleasant smell to be sure! No feces smells or urine left over stink with fresh step either. This size box is still manageable, and gives a reasonable number of refills or topping off during use.

My wife started using this lately and she’s had no issues. She doesn’t like overwhelming scents and this, being unscented, is very nice. She says it’s quite good with clumping and that the pellets don’t get stuck on her shoes or clothing or anything, which was a problem with other litter products. Ever since the problems with the toilet this alternative has just really helped, so I would encourage it for anybody looking for a good quality and non-toxic litter for their restroom needs. I imagine the litter would be great for cats as well.
