Clean hourly unless you want a stinky house.
Must be cleaned multiple times a day unless you want a stinky house. Only got this because they were out of the44lb fresh step even though they showed it available for pick up or delivery. It clumps nicely but does little to nothing for smell. Fresh step is better.

Too Heavy
I have 8 rescue cats and tidy cat works very well, but the 40 pound boxes are very hard to handle. They used to be 2 20 pound containers per box so I could open the boxes and carry them I’m glad that Sam’s delivers otherwise I wouldn’t be able to continue using it
Gave my cat allergies.
I will not be purchasing this litter again. After one day of use, my cat started sneezing and coughing uncontrollably he has even sneezed out what seems to be a clump of dust pictured below. Apparently after a quick Google search this kind of reaction isn't uncommon. I have switched litter to a low dust unscented option. I'm very disappointed!

It's okay.
It's alright. It's just so messy. High tracking. All of it is really. The box is not ergonomically designed AT ALL. What a mess to pour. We used a plastic cup to scoop it out. 1st world problems I guess.

PLEASE READ FULL REVIEW - Poor QA/QC/New Formula??
I'm not sure what has changed recently, but I have used tidy cats glade clumping litter for over 8 years and I have never had quality control problems like this... Random large chunks of what I at first thought looked like drywall (very clearly isn't in pictures) and the color randomly became several shades darker with recently boxes purchased (10 total). See details below and see images for reference. First let me give you a little background information. I have 6 cats, 3 of which I've had for a little over 8 years and the other 3 were additions in the recent years following. I have used tidy cats litter for all 8 years of my original 3 cats lives. Never had issues with hair loss, excessively itching, runny noses, watery eyes, sneezing, etc. The first time I got a box with darker litter in color was around 1/25/25 and it had NO blue glade scented particles and it was extremely dusty. The clumping action was half as good as normal and urine clumps just immediately fall apart and mixed into the fresh litter throughout the day. I had only used this box of litter in my orange cats litter box that is kept separate from the others. Once I added the new litter I immediately saw the color difference, lack of scent, and no blue particles. Within a day, my orange cat literally started sneezing, his nose was always super wet/runny, eyes watery, and he was excessively clawing his face open because he was so itchy. His chin had a patch of red skin that was clearly irritated and his fur was missing (the area was about the size of a dime). I immediately dumped the litter in the trash, scrubbed his litter box and opened another box I had (I always keep a few) and it was scented and light grey in color, like it should be. After changing the litter out, the urine clumps held together and my cat stopped sneezing, excessively itching and clawing his skin open. I figured this was a one off because like I said I've used this product for 8 years without problems.. Fast forward to this month (4/17/25), I purchased 10 boxes of tidy cats clumping glade litter on sale, a week or so ago, and little did I know that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM is the darker color with extremely high dust and poor clumping properties (however they did have the blue glade particles and scent so I went ahead and used 2 boxes and swapped the litter out for the month). Now all 6 of my cats are scratching constantly and sneezing. My orange tabby once again clawed his face open not even a day of swapping out the litter in the box... I'm so incredibly disappointed in the recent quality... My fur babies deserve better litter that doesn't cause them to have watery eyes, wet noses, sneeze from large amounts of dust, lose patches of fur, and excessively itch to the point of wounds and lost fur. I got my orange cat just under 3 years ago and have never had skin or raspatory issues with him. I haven't changed their food, laundry soap, perfume, shampoo, literally nothing has changed except the TIDY Cats litter quality.

Not For The Weak
I did not see that they had changed the packaging! Ordered online for contactless pickup and when I got home found out that they no longer put the 40 pounds in two separate jugs so that I could carry one at a time into the house. To add insult to injury, one of the boxes had been torn so that litter was all over the trunk of my car. I guess it is time to find another product!
