For best results, do not mix with non-clumping cat litter. For first time use, start with an empty, clean cat litter box. Fill your clean litter box with 3 to 4 inches of Fresh Step Simply Unscented Cat Litter. Remove clumps and solids daily and dispose in trash. Do not flush. The rest of the litter stays fresh. Add more litter to refresh your litter box each time you scoop. Maintain level of litter at 3 to 4 inches.

As a reminder, especially to pregnant women and immunosuppressed persons, cat feces can sometimes transmit a disease called toxoplasmosis. Therefore, always remember to wash hands thoroughly after handling used cat litter. For further information, consult your doctor. Unused cat litter poses no toxoplasmosis threat. Caution: Do not use this product as a traction aid because product becomes slippery and slick when wet.

Beware. Do not buy unless you want paste

Loyalcustomer

16 days ago
If I could give 0 I would. My cat has a chronic respiratory thing and he’s been getting worse. The formula changed and it’s extremely dusty and no longer clumps but makes a sludgey pastey type pile of urine. I wish I found out sooner because I get it on auto ship through a company and first started using the new formula. I’ve been a customer probably for a decade. I will be searching for a new litter.

Smells awful, NOT UNSCENTED.

I’m so confused. I bought this because it says unscented and it’s the strongest smelling litter I’ve ever used. So artificially fragranced. And very dusty.

Not the Fresh Step unscented I used before!

Lynzi

I just got a new kitten and am very disappointed in the new formulation of Fresh Step Simply Unscented. It has a terrible perfume/chemical scent and has poor clumping (endless little pieces I’m having to fish out of the litter box). And not to mention the litter is tracked from the bathroom into my bed! If that wasn’t bad enough, I just figured out the second time washing sheets since using this product, apparently a few pieces of litter on the sheets left little black smudges on the sheets (assume this is from the carbon in the litter).

Massive Dust Cloud

MrsA

1 month ago
Miss the old formula. I feel like I need to wear a mask when I dump this litter into the box as it now creates a massive dust cloud! Far from dust free. We have a cat with asthma, so I will probably need to change. The litter is also much darker and the texture is different. Very small particles that track everywhere. Fresh step DONT FIX SOMETHING THAT ISNT BROKEN!

What Happened to the Old Formula?

Punkin Olly

1 month ago
I’ve used Fresh Step for years, but the recent formula change is a dealbreaker. The litter is now darker, way dustier, and my cats track it all over the house. Clumps fall apart more easily, and the whole room smells like dust. Whatever “improvements” were made, they’ve made it worse in every way. Really disappointed — time to find a new brand.

It's Sad Formula has Changed - Dusty & Mushy Clump

Carol C

1 month ago
Fresh Step Simply Unscented was my favorite litter til my last purchase I noticed immediately that the litter was a darker color and had a different consistency. Also, the new formula litter created a lot of dust. But the BIGGEST issue is that the litter no longer produces hard clumps. It's soft mushy clumps that don't work well in a litter robot or a regular box. Hope they change the formula back.

Fraudulent product

False advertisement. The unscented 4 pack is NOT the same product. The bags even have fake cat logo on it and it doesn’t state Fresh Step!!!! Why did it change and why are you selling as the same product as before??!

This has been my go to brand for a while now. It does get a little dusty but I love the face that it is unscented and comes in small 10 pound bags. It makes it so much easier to pick up and throw in the box.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Has this product Fresh Step Simply Unscented 42 lb been discontinued? I can't find this product in this size anywhere. Neither in store or online.

  1. 3 years ago
    I contacted Fresh Step and was told it is still available but like you I have been unable to find it anywhere in stores or in line.

Does anyone know if this product works with the litter robot? I need more litter for the litter robot. I need to know if it will shift through. My cat seems to like the litter bot and spends his time on the second floor. Please and thank you.

  1. 2 years ago
    Yes, it does! We have the Litter Robot 3 and this is all we use. I set the timer for 7 minutes to allow it to clump harder when it cycles. I have three cats and I have no odors at all with this litter and it doesn’t crumble when it cycles.

Did simply ultra simply unscented replace ultra unscented ?

  1. 4 years ago
    Yes, as far as I can tell. It works the same for me. 



4 years ago

Did the ultra unscented get discontinued? Is it only simply unscented now? The keep sending me this instead of what I ordered. It doesn’t work as well.

  1. 4 years ago
    Thank you for asking a great question, Bogi. We have decided the change the name of our Ultra Unscented litter to Simply Unscented. The formulas are essentially the same, and we know your kitty will still love it. While we hope this was helpful, please give us a buzz at 800-325-9259 if you need additional assistance. Make sure to mention reference number 201201-000872. Meow for now. London from The Fresh Step Team

Ultra or simply? The item title says Ultra Unscented. The photo and description say Simply Unscented. Which is it?

  1. 4 years ago
    I have this on auto delivery and I've always received ultra unscented. (I order the 42 lb one)

Is this a fine or course litter? My cats prefer litter that has a sandy texture. Thanks! 

  1. 4 years ago
    I'd say medium sandy....not fine and not coarse

May I use a coupon if I order online?

    I think I had to call to use coupon-but it was no problem once I got customer service--

How often do you have to empty and clean a litter box using this litter? I am currently using a natural grass litter which doesn't break down, so I rarely have to completely clean the box.

  1. 5 years ago
    I scoop twice daily and add litter every week it so, as needed. I have 2 boxes for 2 cats. I only do a complete replacement and box scrubbing 2 or 3 times a year. There is no box odor (even with one stinky cat). My friend said my house smells "neutral," which is good enough with two cats!

How does this litter compare to the "simply unscented" Fresh Step litter when it comes to low tracking? I know it says low dust, but I hope it's as low tracking as the other Fresh Step. Thank you

  1. 5 years ago
    It tracks a little bit less than others and the dust is lower, but there is still both.

How is this packaged?  Is there a pour spout or does the package just ‘open up’?  Curious as to handle such a large container with out losing product everywhere.  thanks!

  1. 5 years ago
    There are 4 - 10lb bags in the package. I love the way it is packaged. Normally I am scooping litter from a giant bag into plastic pails I've saved. I have 3 litter boxes, 1 on each floor & a changing/cleaning station on each floor. With this I don't have to distribute litter or carry any heavy plastic pails up & down stairs. It's a snap! So easy & no dust cloud to choke me or make my fur babies sick. I wish it were more widely available in Canada. It's fabulous litter & viable competition for the company that has the market currently on 98% of pet foods & cat litter ( but is also buying up Canada's natural water supply). PLEASE, CANADA IS A BUSTLING MARKET. WE NEED MORE CHOICES.
