Truly unscented

I have 7 cats. I run 5 litter boxes. . A competitor that I was using changed (and increased) the scent in their litter. My house reeked. Fresh Step was the first unscented litter I have tried., It truly is unscented - even when you don't clean the litter boxes as often as you should. For this, I am extremely pleased. . However, Fresh Step does turn into cement, bonds to plastic litter boxes, and forms really LARGE clumps when one clump comes in contact with another. As above, if you don't clean the litter boxes as often as you should, it can be a real struggle to scrape it from the box, and lift humongous clumps out. I recently bought a heavy metal scoop, which helps immensely, but you still need 2 hands to use it to work the clumps free. So if you are weighing "unscented" against "cement", the unscented wins hands down. I will gladly struggle with the cleaning in exchange for a clean smelling house.

The best I have found yet

I have tried almost every unscented litter on the market & yet they all still have that powdery smell that you get a whiff of here & there. This litter is 1000% scent-less. Doesn’t develop any stale dusty smell & overall just feels so much healthier for the cats. I will never stop buying!

Unfortunately changes

I feel validated reading through these concerned reviews. I was thinking the formula had changed but wasn't sure. It does seem more dusty now (I can see dust on my cat's head when he comes out of the litter box), and I think it's been sticking to his paws more than before. He also struggles with asthma and this might be a trigger now, so im going to try another brand. I'm also wondering if my increase in allergy symptoms lately is because of this new litter formula.

New formula is terrible!

The formula has changed, it is terrible now! Dusty and no longer clumps. I have four 10-year old cats and used this litter for years, was very impressed and happy with the quality, no longer. I will be changing my auto-delivery to a litter that actually works and doesn’t require a shower after cleaning the boxes. The dust is absolutely horrible.

great product

I have used fresh step for years. I always used the regular one, but upon getting 2 new kittens decided to switch to unscented. I had read it is better for their health. It is great. It doesn't fill my home with fragrance, and it completely masks any smell they produce. It clumps beautifully and is easy to clean. the only issue I have is trying to pry the box open to get the code. I order it online so cant scan a receipt.

Best for odor control

We have 6 cats, yes 6! I have had multiple people come to my small single story house, who have said during the visit (as cats started to appear) they did not realize I had cats, because my house did not SMELL like cats. All of Fresh Step's unscented litters are excellent, but I think the Ultra Unscented may be the best of the bunch! The unscented litter won't put a shield of perfume in your house that screams, "I have cats & cat litter!" This litter stay clean a long time because it is an excellent clumping litter too!

Horrible - ruined a good product!

The company changed the formula. I just spoke to a Customer Representative who attempted to insult my intelligence by saying they had not changed the formula. I can see the color change, the texture change, the decreased clumping and the cement gummy aspects of the “new formula” plus two of my cats are now experiencing some respiratory issues. I am buying new litter to find a permanent replacement litter brand now.

Doesn't "candy-scent" the house!

My household has always preferred to use low scent/unscented products whenever possible. I have found many times some brands of cat litter are so strongly scented that I think the cats find it intolerable and refuse to use the box. Having unscented litter available is a blessing!

Low dust feature

After having gone through several other litters, I finally settled on this Fresh Step UltraUnscented litter. My cats track litter all the time, and this has been the lowest tracking I've used. (Still tracks, but much less than with other litters.). I'll continue buying this litter.

Great Litter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy with this litter, I am normally use to a lot of litter as you pour it into the box you get massive amount of dust this had none that I could see. Also very low tracking and holds the smells in check, overall an amazing product.
