Purina Tidy Cats Clumping Cat Litter, Free & Clean Unscented Multi Cat Litter - (3) 14 lb. Jugs

Best litter we've used to date! Edged out Dr. Elsey's and Scoop Away.We gave it a few weeks to confirm.Odor Control: Superior to Dr. Kelsie's and Scoop Away, the closest contenders so far. Haven't smelled the box at all from my usual sitting distance approx. 12-13 feet away. Haven't even smelled it much from closer. Must be the activated charcoal! Occasional mild whiffs while cat is actively pooping or when scooping extremely fresh messes (oxymoron), but that's not the litter's fault! Okay, cat was intrigued by tape measure and decided to poop and scratch litter. Let me test it for you one more time...three minutes later, don't smell anything!Dust: Excellent, haven't noticed dust so far!Clumping/Ease of scooping: Purina Tidy Cats also litter stood up much better to our humid weather (Hawai'i) Generally, scooping gets "draggy" as the general tropical humidity takes it's toll on other litters, so much so that the surrounding litter begins to resemble loose "pooling," and takes on an overall low grade stagnant odor, separate from actual poop or urine odor, leading to premature full change-outs. Tidy Cats clumps only where there is an actual mess. No "mystery clumps" due to general humidity. The surrounding litter stays as dry as if we were in the desert! We like to get our money's worth and try to stretch products whenever we can. With this formula, it's been three weeks and we have not done a full change. Just topping it off as the level goes down. Having company is often a motivation to completely dump the old and bring in the new. Often, I do the pre-company sniff test and order an immediate full change! So far, we've had company 3X, no need to change, house smells great!Tracking: A little, but minor. We're also using the large litter box and not our usual jumbo, which could be a contributing factor. I'll have to analyze this to compare if we ever use another brand again. Overall, the odor control, extremely low dust, and easier scooping benefits make this minor tracking no issue at all!Price: Price was slightly higher than Dr. Elsey's. About $2.49 higher for 40 pounds. It was more difficult to compare with Scoop Away due to so many size/quantity/price choices, Prime/non-Prime, etc. but it was close enough. I feel this is more economical because we are doing fewer change outs, not to mention the joy of freshness and easier scooping! Yes!Additional info: Two cats. One mostly indoor, supervised outdoor. One indoor/outdoor, generally poops outside, uses litter box only when we're away or on rainy days. We use a disposable tray, Nature's Miracle or Kitty's Wonder Box (highly recommend disposable litter boxes...you'll thank yourself!!!) We look for unscented litter, excellent odor control, low dust, low tracking.Will buy again...Highly recommend!

I am a first time cat owner. I never realized that most cat litters have some type of scent added to them. The first litter I purchased was Arm & Hammer clump and seal. When I first poured it out of the box there was an overwhelming floral fragrance. I hated the scent of it and smelling the floral smell every time I had to scoop the box. So I went on a hunt for unscented litter and found the Tidy Cats Free & Clean. I am never looking back!! I LOVE this litter! I am sure my cats appreciate the switch too. It is truly unscented, and has much less dust than the Arm & Hammer litter. It clumps perfectly in addition to controlling odor. I keep one of the litter boxes right behind the couch and I can never smell it. I asked my brother if he thinks the litter box smells and he said he doesn't smell anything. Full disclaimer: I do scoop twice a day so I'm sure that contributes to the no smell.Weirdly enough, there seem to be inconsistencies in the different batches of litter. I first ordered 2 20 lb jugs, and when I went to order it again, it was out of stock, so I ordered the 40lb box of litter. As you can see in my pictures, there is a color difference. The litter in the jugs is white while the litter in the box is gray. Thankfully, the litter performs the same regardless of the color. I just thought it was odd that there was such a large color inconsistency. One more thing to add: this litter does track like crazy. The texture of the Free & Clean is more gritty (like small gravel) which is why I think it tracks more. But, I am willing to look past that because of how well it performs. Love and recommend!

I used the smelly (scented) Tidy Cat years ago, but gave it up in favor of unscented litter: better for my allergies, and better for the cats, which is the most important thing. I'd recently been using another premium unscented litter, and while I didn't dislike it, I often found myself wishing I had a jackhammer to pry the clumps from the bottom of the litter box. I was excited to try TC Free and Clean, and have been mostly impressed. It is relatively dust-free, or at least as dust free as kitty litter can reasonably be. Pouring slowly and close to the box keeps the dust down even more. It seems to be relatively track free. Meaning: while I do sweep up litter, I don't see the weird white spots all over the surrounding floor from whatever magic ingredient is in the other litter I was using. It clumps well without sticking to the bottom of the box. Regarding odor, however... I wish that litter manufacturers would stop claiming that their litter is somehow, magically, keeps the box virtually odor free for any length of time. The reality is that it depends on a multitude of things, including frequency of use and scooping, location in house, surrounding environment, etc. So my grade for odor control is mixed: I have one 16 lb male cat, and two very good sized boxes. I scoop 2x/day, and if he takes an impressive poop, that comes out immediately, no matter how many times I've scooped. That said, he clearly views one box as his main box, with the other as a back-up: one gets used every day, the other may go every other day or so. I add clean litter as I scoop, to keep the quantity right. After about a week I definitely get an occasional whiff from the main box - even after it is perfectly scooped; the back up box is a bit better. I am going to make some allowance for the extremely humid summer we've had: even the air conditioner/de-humidifier has struggled this year. I'm going to see how the box smells generally in fall/winter/spring as the temps change before making a final judgment, but overall this is good litter, and my cat definitely likes it.
