Fresh Step Cat Litter

Fresh step cat litter is popular with cat owners because of its easy availability, cost effectiveness and superior odor control.

Fresh Step has been around since 1984. The litter is made of high quality clay and crystals. It contains odor eliminating carbon that is activated each time the cat steps on or digs in the litter. The company offers several different products to meet the needs of most cat owners:

• Fresh Step Clay: This litter is a non-clumping clay litter. The ingredients discourage the development of odor causing bacteria. The granules are larger, and this means less litter tracked all over your house. The company recommends that you scoop out feces daily and change the litter once a week for best results.

• Fresh Step Scoopable: Similar to the clay litter, the scoopable litter also offers you the ability to scoop out urine that is clumped together into a solid ball upon contact with the litter. This allows for even better odor control. The scoopable litter is finer and can be used with most self-cleaning litter boxes. Depending on how many felines you have, you may only have to completely change your litter box once a month with this type of litter. In between, keep the box scooped and add small amounts of fresh litter to replace what has been taken out with clumping.

• Fresh Step Plus Dual Action Crystals: Offers the convenience of scooping litters, but also includes odor reducing crystals. This litter is earmarked as having superior odor control.

• Fresh Step Crystals: For people not interested in a clumping litter but who want superior odor control, the crystal formula may be the best solution. Odor control is about five times better than regular clay litters. Crystals are made of silica.
