Good odor control, quality can be hit & miss

I've purchased about six 38lb packs of this litter and have used up all six packs. I like this litter for the following reasons: 1) packaging (great not to have a bulky empty box); 2) really good odor control. I actually prefer unscented litter, but the Febreze scent isn't overwhelming. I use this with the litter robot open air and the waste drawer does not smell half as bad as with other litters after 1-2 weeks of accumulation; 3) decent clumping power. What I did not like about this litter: 1) quality seems to be hit and miss regarding "low dust". I've had packs that have been extremely dusty = visible dust cloud while scooping litter. 3) I've also grabbed one of the 4-packs to discover litter flying out because the seam failed. Overall, the odor control and decent clumping has me buying Fresh Step. I will be trying the Extreme version soon.

Smells Great, Dust Fills House

Fresh Step is one of the better brands out there. The Febreze is a great touch and the scent lasts a long time. However, also remember, that means your cat will smell like Febreze and litter. Though this has lower dust, it still permeates the entire house and settles over furniture, appliances, etc.

Original Fresh Step Multi-Cat Litter is better

I have used Fresh Step Cat Litter for years with great satisfaction so I was surprised when the new Multi-Cat Litter with Febreze did not perform as advertised. Though the clumping feature worked well it did not cover the kitty odor at all in either litter box. It also had more dust than the original formula and the litter seemed to track everywhere. Sad to say I was very disappointed. I have since switched back to the Original Fresh Step Multi-Cat litter formula.

NO BAD SMELLS !!

This cat litter is great ! I can even miss a day and there isn't any odor! My friends thought I got rid of my cats because there wasn't any odor. Ask your friends for an honest answer about your house if your house smells. If so, it's because you're NOT using FRESH STEP !!

Too scented

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As soon as I poured this into a newly cleaned box I had a bad feeling about this product. First, I've been using Fresh Step for over 9 years w/my kitties and even my grandparents used this brand for their cats. Second, don't plan to change to any other brand as its done me well with pick up and general ease. I just cannot give this particular product a 5. The added febreeze is extremely uneccessary especially with the mutlicat formula. The perfume as you pour it is overly powerful and I don't think I'm that sensitive on smell but this was too much. The two of them definitely didn't like it either. Someone kept doing #2right outside the litter box for several days. The other would gp #1right in the corner nears the swing door and it would seep out as if it was like a #1 and run type thing. When I changed it to the light weight multi at no problems at all! Hopefully they carry the lightweight in more stores.

Good cat litter

Better than other cat litter brands I tried (2 others). Really works better with smell and clumping, but don't last 10 days as promised. We have a closed litter box. For my two 6-month kittens it lasts for 3 days and I start feel smells from litter box. It's not a terrible and awful smell, but I can feel it. But still it works better than other brands I tried. Will try Extreme next time, maybe it will work better for my cats, than Multi-cat one.

Loved trying this litter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first time trying Fresh Step cat litter and I was very happy with the results. It has great clumping power to make for easy cleanups. The only issue I found was that it did stick to my cats paws when leaving the litter pan and it does not give immediate odor control. Once the excrement is covered it offered some odor control, but not fully.

Finally!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After all the other brands I have bought Fresh Step is the one brand that actually works for us. Even Declan, my Big Boy, doesn't get eye infections like he did with the other brands due to the high level of dust. Thank-you for your low dust formula.

The BEST !

I've tried several different cat litter brands and at the end of the day, I would end up having to mix Fresh Step with the other brand so it would smell nicer and be more scoop-able. Fresh Step has constantly been the best and I don't even attempt to use other brands anymore. My cat's happy and I'm happy and that's all that matters :)

Covers all odors in a 4 cat home

This is my preferred fresh step litter, I use it for all of my litter boxes. It covers up all smells, doesn't track too far, especially with the litter rugs outside the litter boxes. I'm able to maintain the litter for 3-4 weeks before I need to add new litter or replace it.
