Fresh Step Advanced Simply Unscented Clumping Clay Cat Litter, 18.5-lb box

Personally I have never found the magical litter that keeps my house smelling like a house, doesn't create dust storms each time a box is used or sifted, and doesn't leave sharp gravel throughout my house. This is as close as it gets to perfection. I was like many here a true and loyal fan of Fresh Step Ultra. T'was the best at clumping, containing odors, and truly scent free. But boy was it a dust tsunami and tracked a virtual gravel driveway. Still loved it. Simply unscented has some organic odor which I guess is how they can say no perfumes or what have you. I think it's the charcoal. It all makes me queasy and smells like dryer softener sheets. This smells only when I pour it from the Personally I have never found the magical litter that keeps my house smelling like a house, doesn't create dust storms each time a box is used or sifted, and doesn't leave sharp gravel throughout my house.

I think it's the charcoal. It all makes me queasy and smells like dryer softener sheets. This smells only when I pour it from the box. Dissipates and not a problem when scooping. Simply gets a bit more saturated, not wet, just heavier as it absorbs, sooner than Ultra but is top notch at absorbing any and all odors. We are extremely conscientious of odor always asking people if they can smell anything. We have four boxes for two territorial critters in a large two level home. The dust situation is certainly better than Ultra but dust free? How can clay be dust free to begin with? Tracking is better than Ultra my cats aren't normally big high intensity box scratchers so there aren't a lot of flying pebbles - transparency - We do mix this with about a third of another brand that is finer in texture ( did this also with Ultra where it was really needed more) , creating the best mix for all, my cement floors, bare feet, and paws. Not really sure what the differences are in the Fresh Step rebranded lineup. They really made it confusing now with paws, outstretched, simply advanced, and plain simply. I just want this stuff to not occupy so much of my brain power and be available when i need it, for as long as I need it . Fresh Step Simply Unscented Advanced is the one. Don't mess with it. … more

Have bought this a few times in place of ever clean . I love Ever clean but the price keeps going up and with two big kitties I am trying to find a good unscented littwr . So far I am pleased with it control odor

This is, absolutely, the BEST litter I've tried...and I've tried many!!! I like the smaller box, too, as it's lighter, therefore easier to pour! Thanks much! Helen

My 3 cats are very happy with this new litter and so am I. They are not tracking as much litter out of the box as before and it truly doesn't seem to be nearly as dusty as my previous litter. I only bought enough for 1 of my 3 litter boxes to see if they liked it and they seem to only want to use the box with this litter. So purchasing more so I can change the other 2 boxes out. Happy Kitties = Happy Mommy!

Definitely a whiff of a light perfume scent while scooping. To be fair, it's only when sifting the clay around. Otherwise, a solid performer. Clumps well with just a bit of dust.

Slowly working my way through all the litters to find one that hits all my ideal qualities: no/low dust, little tracking, unscented, odor controlling. There is very little dust on the sides of the dark blue litter pan. More like 85% dust free but better than most. It does track but much less than previous litters. Despite the unscented label there is a faint scent that reminds me of laundry detergent. Sensitive to smells but I can handle being in the same room with this. It's not 100% effective on the odor thing but again it is better than most so I'm willing to deal. It's currently mixed with a Chewy litter though so perhaps it will be stronger when it's the only thing in the box.

Chewy sent another out asap though so all is good. … more

This will be my go to litter for use in my litter robot . There is much less tracking

Great product, truly dust free with a smaller box with a handle that can be managed by those of us getting up in years!!

Not sure what the advancement is supposed to be, found the litter not to be as good and it had a fragrance despite being unscented. Less expensive but not worth it.

Says it's unscented but has a detergent smell which hurts my nasal passages. clumps but not hard. I still little pieces everywhere. Won't purchase again.
