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.

No longer any good

Have used this litter for years and it was the best. Within this past year, something has changed other than the color being darker. The granules are finer, it leaves dust EVERYWHERE and it has a light scent.

Thanks for sharing your review. We're sorry to hear you were disappointed with our Simply Unscented Litter. Many of the ingredients that go into the litter are from the earth and have naturally occurring color variations. Though appearance may vary (such as color and particle size), it shouldn't impact the performance of the litter. In the meantime, we want to help. Please reach out to us at 800-325-9259 and mention #251126-000431. We look forward to assisting you.

Why did you ruin a great litter?!

This used to be great litter; almost no dust and UNSCENTED, which is important for my cat with asthma. However, something changed mid-2025. It is now horribly dust (clouds of dust when you pour it out) and an overwhelming perfume smell. Why did you change it?! Also, it now forms a thick sludge and doesn’t clump well. I started noticing my wire scoop gets wet litter caked on it when I scoop. It never used to do this. Please bring back the old formulation!!

Not unscented. Clearly has smell of scents. Why is it being sold under " Unscented" ?

We’ve been using this for years, but whatever has changed in the formula recently has made it terrible. No clumping, no odor control and it leaves sludge in the box. I have one bag left and will be finding another litter.

Great litter

I always buy this litter. It’s good at eliminating odors and I prefer unscented because I know the manufacturer won’t stop selling it like they did with the lavender scent. The lavender was awesome but unfortunately was discontinued.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Terrible product that I will avoid in the future.

I am extremely disappointed with this product! It is definitely NOT unscented, the chemical lemony stench is so powerful it lingers on my clothes for hours after cleaning a litter box! It is very dusty, it does not clump, it makes my cats sneeze, and makes me feel ill to use and deal with it!

Simply Unscented is no longer Unscented.

I recently purchased a new 6-pack of the Simply Unscented litter and was so disappointed in the changes that have been made. Simply Unscented is no longer unscented, and this is a deal breaker for our household as my husband is highly allergic. The chemical smell is overwhelming, the litter grains are smaller and don’t clump like it used to, and it’s dusty and makes us sneeze. I’m so unhappy about this! I’m going to have to suffer through the remaining bags while I look for another option. I hope you go back to the old formula - and quickly!!!

Questions

1 - 3 of 3 Questions
Sort by: Newest Answers

can used litter be recycled in some way?

  1. Yes it can be added to old cans of paint and then taken to the dump. That's what the waste management suggested.



Can Fresh Step be used in a automatic kitty litter box?

  1. yes I used this litter in the past with my litter robot and it did great!



Thinking of trying a new litter, I'm tired of having cat litter tracked all over, even with a mat. Is this truly non tracking or is it just less tracking than other litter? Thank you

  1. I use mats underneath the 3 litter boxes and I find no tracking with this litter.
