Fresh Step Simply Unscented Clumping Clay Cat Litter

I have used the multi cat ultra unscented litter for over 10 years and I used to swear by it! None of our friends or family would know we had multiple cats because the litter was so great. Now, they have changed the formula and you can smell it! Any time I pet one of my cats my hands smell like the litter. The dust gets into their fur and then they spread it throughout the house. It is such a shame they changed this wonderful product. Until there are enough customers who stop buying it or voice their frustration, they’ll never correct it!

I've been ordering this litter for about a year now, and the last 3 boxes have had a definite scent like laundry detergent, and also have a significant increase in dust. It's really unfortunate that Fresh Step felt they could pull the wool over its customers' eyes like that. I'm giving it 2 stars because it does still clump just fine. It's the rest of it that's no longer as advertised. I'll have to start looking for another unscented litter.

This liter has the worst dust! How they claim it's 99.9% dust free is ridiculous and completely miss leading. I can see the clouds of dust every time I scoop the boxes. I have one of my liter boxes in my laundry room and I have to wipe down my washer and dryer several times a week because they are coated in dust. Not to mention the dust kitty paw prints all over my floors. This liter also claims it is "Unscented" and it has a light scent. The liter is also very fine which means the cats tend to track it all over. Horrible liter will never buy again. Branding is completely misleading.

I like the Fresh Step brand and ever since I discovered the unscented litter it's been my favorite. I'm not fond of the scented because it's very strong scent overpowers the entire area. I can't always find the Fresh Step Unscented in the store so I appreciate being able to order it from Chewy.

I loved the Ultra Unscented version of this but it would appear they discontinued it and switched to this. Don’t get me wrong, I like this litter and it does just as well as the old one. It clumps well and hides the smell. HOWEVER, it is so unbelievably dusty. When I scoop the litter, it creates so much dust. It is so bad that when the cats dig around in their box, they stir up dust too. I have their boxes in a spare room closet. Everything stored inside the closet is now covered in the litter dust. I didn’t start to notice this until I switched from the Ultra Unscented to this one. I also noticed that the kitties track this litter everywhere. I will continue to use this litter until I can I loved the Ultra Unscented version of this but it would appear they discontinued it and switched to this.

I just hope the dust is not affecting the cats. … more

What I was most impressed with is the box of litter was wrapped in plastic so if it leaked during shipping it wouldn't be all over the other items that were shipped along with it. THANK YOU CHEWY!!! Other retailers should take some lessons from you as I have had that happen several times and it creates such a mess!

We used Fresh Step unscented years ago and found it fairly dusty, but great on odor control. Switched to Dr. Eisleys for a while, but when we moved the litter boxes into a smaller room it didn't cut it with odor control. Decided to check out this new formula. Amazing! Truly low dust, and great odor and moisture control. I don't have to scrape at the sides of the boxes, and even if I don't scoop the boxes for up to 3 days (don't judge) it doesn't stink! I buy the 4 pack and it's easy to break apart to carry upstairs.

I've used Fresh Step unscented for over 10 years. They changed the box color (and formula?) and now it has a definite, strong perfume scent. It's always been a pretty dusty litter IMO and it still is. Other than those complaints, I think it does a good job controlling odor, but I scoop daily.

Disclaimer that I am new to cat ownership and litter boxes. That being said, if this formula is considered 'low dust', I'd HATE to see what dusty litter generates! When I stir the litter around to collect the waste, clouds of dust swirl up, enough to create a haze. The walls of my litter are black and it's easy to see the ashy dust that has settled on all the walls. The dust is so visible I feel the urge to cover my nose/mouth to prevent inhaling it while I'm cleaning. I may be inexperienced but this level of dust just doesn't leave me comfortable exposing myself/my cat to it long-term. Great clumping and odor control though, there's no doubt of that.

We were looking for a litter that was lower on the dust production, but familiar enough to the two cats, that they would use it. This is lower dust compared to others we’ve tried, and the cats are using it. Only thing is it is scented/perfumed. We’d prefer unscented...
