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.

Simple and clean, but powerful

michellaneousstuff_1905

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No added fragrance but still controls odor very well!! Clumps fast and tight so scooping is very easy! Less dust compared to other litters I’ve had. It’s simple and clean, doesn’t over power the room with fake scents.

We've been purchasing this product through Chewy autoship for years and suddenly is smells like cheap laundry soap. My cats smell so gross now.

Absolutely NOT unscented like it claims

I’m very disappointed in the new formulation of this litter. I used to love it, but now it has an awful, very strong fragrance despite the claim that it is formulated with no fragrance. It also creates a massive dust cloud when pouring it into the box and tracks everywhere in my house, which it didn’t do in the past. I will be trashing the rest of the box and not purchase this again because the fragrance is so potent that it smells throughout my whole house despite having covered litter boxes. I need an unscented litter that is actually unscented unlike the false claim on this one.

Not the same anymore - what happened to unscented?

We have been using the same litter for a long time, but the last 2 boxes were different. The granules are darker, smaller and have a very strong smell of soap/perfume. I can still smell it on my cats , can't get it off my hands and even while the scent hangs in the air having the soapy perfume taste in my mouth just from breathing in is not something I want. It makes me sneeze all the time. Something has changed and unfortunately I will be returning the boxes to the store and look for another brand.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Still dusty and tracks everywhere

Still dusty so make sure your catbox has a good, thick filter on it.

Yes, I recommend this product.

What happened??

This has been our go-to litter for the past several years. As others have said here,something with the formula HAS changed. The perfume smell makes us sneeze, gives me headaches, causes flare ups of my chronic lung issues, AND makes my cats fur and feet smell 24/7. Their eyes have been goopy too. I wrote the company an email about 3 weeks ago. No response! As others here have said, the litter granules are smaller,darker, bustier and highly perfumed. I am going to have to look for another brand. My cats any my health are being compromised. Very disappointing. Also very frustrating that no one has replied to my email and that you say there have been no formula changes. That just can't be true. These reviews show otherwise.

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?!

Jmiah22

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!!

Questions

1 - 3 of 3 Questions

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.
