Love This Litter

I tried this litter for the first time and I love it. It definitely creates less dust that others I've used, but the real draw for me is the no fragrance. I picked up one of the Febreeze litter before and after opening it, I took it right out to the garage where it still sits unused 6 months later. If you are sensitive to smells, definitely stick with the unscented formulas. While the lightweight formulas are easier to carry, I've discovered the regular weight ones create less litter kicked outside the box to clean up! I can't believe it took me 4 years to figure that out.

Unscented is great!

I always buy unscented Fresh Step, when I saw it had changed recently and was now low-dust, I was hoping for the best. I WAS NOT disappointed! This litter still clumps and scoops as well and not having as much litter dust is a bonus! I have 3 cats and the unscented works great ~won't change litter brands for anything!!

Fresh Step Unscented Cat Litter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used multiple brands of cat litter throughout the years. Fresh Step has been around for a while and it is a brand that I like. I was pleased with my purchase of the unscented clumping litter. I will purchase Fresh Step in the future if the price is right.

Great litter but strong smell

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Freshstep is my favorite litter. Always clumps well, better than any others I've tried. Hoped this was less smelly than others but still has strong smell. Not that unpleasant but can always tell when Toby walks in room where he just came from.

Actually Scentless

I tried the lightweight unscented first and it still had a slight kitty litter odor that bothered me in addition to tracking everywhere. This stuff is truly unscented, the litter smells like absolutely nothing which is great. It controls odors really well, I keep my kitty's litter box in the laundry room and you can't tell it's in there. This litter still tracks, but not as badly as the lightweight litter did. I got the 42-lb bag, which is convenient but not for people with bad backs, lol.

It's not unscented

I bought this product because my cat was diagnosed with asthma and I needed something that was less dusty and unscented. When I buy a product that says ultra unscented I expect that to mean it has no scent. And yet this litter has a distinct perfume odor. I was buying a cheaper brand of litter but gave this a try and am very disappointed. It seems to be affecting my cats asthma more because of the scent. I don't understand how an unscented cat litter can have a scent of perfume unless they put the wrong product in the packaging. Plus the clumping seems more like cement and is harder to scoop from the box even after waiting an hour or two after cat uses box.

Not happy!

We have used this litter all 14 years of our cat’s life. She is very picky and will not use scented. I have noticed recently the formula change and am not at all happy with the change. We go through a lot more litter because the pee causes huge nasty clumps. It is hard to scoop and is allowing more smell. Please bring back the old formula.

Not quite as good as before

I have used the Unscented Fresh Step Cat Litter for years and within the past year the formula was changed. It is still a good litter and I do not plan to change to another brand, but what I have noticed is that I have to change the litter much more frequently than in the past. What this means is more money spent - bring back the old formula. In addition, my cat has decided to use other things rather than the litter - my husband does not appreciate that. That's because if it doesn't get changed sooner, she won't use it. Sometimes "New & Improved" really isn't. The box is also harder to open and I am getting older (not helpful).

Good But Messy

This particular litter is very fine and small, especially compared to the Total Control and Triple Action litters. The small grain of the litter causes the litter to go EVERYWHERE. It gets stuck on their paws and when they exit the box litter goes everywhere and all the humans in the house then get it stuck to their feet and litter ends up all over the house. I won't be buying it again. That said, it does have zero odor. There's no annoying perfume or Febreze scent. It smells like nothing, which is nice. It also does a really good job of covering up smelly messes. I have a messy digger so some litter always ends up outside the box, but with this litter it's SO MUCH WORSE. This litter doesn't work for me, but if your cat(s) always keeps the litter in the box then this may work for you.

Nice clumping without the awful scented smell!

I have had trouble finding a clumping litter that didn't have a sickly sweet smell to it due to it being scented. Even the ones who claimed to be unscented still had a perfume odor to it. (Even Fresh Step's "unscented" has a smell) So I was a little reluctant to try "Ultra unscented" when I first noticed it new on the shelf, but I'm glad that I did! This litter is truly unscented & it clumps great! I have the biggest litter box available (I have a Maine Coon mix kitty, so she's rather large) so I buy 2 boxes of the 14 pounds & it fills up nicely. When it starts getting low, (which takes a few weeks, I only have 1 cat) I buy another 14 pound box to add on top of the already existing litter. It stays fresh with me cleaning out the clumps & topping off the litter for a few months. After a few months, I completely dump everything out & do a complete clean of the box, & I start over again with 2 boxes of the litter. It saves money, & the box stays fresh for my sweet kitty since I'm able to clean out the clumps everyday! It is also very great at keeping the odor at bay. I was using a different litter before I found this one, & there would be quite a strong smell whenever my cat pooped, but now I barely even notice when she goes. The only complaint I have is tracking. I have a litter mat, but that doesn't completely stop it. However, compared to other brands I've tried, the tracking is manageable. TL;DR This is a great litter that clumps well, is truly unscented, & does great at eliminating odors. The litter does track some, but I've had worse tracking with other litters in the past.
