Questions & Answers

15 Customer Questions

Does anyone use this with a litter robot and how well does it work

Answer by Chewy • Jan 27, 2021
The Litter-Robot simply requires high-quality clumping litter.

Is this definitely low tracking

Answer by Chewy • Oct 05, 2022
This litter is made with larger particles and strong clumping power to help reduce tracking, keeping litter in the box and cat's paws clean.

Does this litter contain silica? Even in trace amounts or ANY form of silica?

Answer by Chewy • Apr 10, 2023
Clean Paws Simply Unscented Clumping Clay Cat Litter is formulated with antimicrobial properties to prevent bacterial odor growth on the litter, and high-quality clay to absorb liquids and trap odors. It does not contain silica.

Where is this made?

Less Messy Than Other Products

Whether it's my own cat or the other cats my family had when I was a child, my family and I have always preferred to use Fresh Step for our cat litter. Until recently,

Whether it's my own cat or the other cats my family had when I was a child, my family and I have always preferred to use Fresh Step for our cat litter. Until recently, I had been using the regular Simply Unscented formula that comes in the 44-pound bulk packaging, as I found it to be the best deal for my dollar. However, in the last couple of months, I made the switch to the Clean Paws formula in the hopes that I could keep my apartment a bit more tidy. Despite my best efforts (having a high-sided litter box, having a large litter mat covering the surrounding area, regular vacuuming, etc.), my cat still somehow manages to track significant amounts of litter EVERYWHERE throughout my apartment. I have hard floors, and while they are quick and easy to clean, it drives me crazy when I walk around and can feel copious litter crumbles beneath my feet. Enter the Clean Paws formula. The litter granules are noticeably bigger, and I feel like this formula is a bit less dusty than its regular Simply Unscented counterpart. While my cat does still inevitably track litter throughout the apartment, I have noticed the amount of litter I am finding elsewhere has diminished. As with all of Fresh Step's unscented formulas, the Clean Paws formula does a wonderful job of clumping and eliminating odors. I also feel this litter has wonderful longevity for a single-cat household!

New packaging- Extremely dusty?

I’ve always loved this litter because it was low tracking with minimal dust. I still like that it doesn’t have a strong smell and it keeps the boxes smelling decently

I’ve always loved this litter because it was low tracking with minimal dust. I still like that it doesn’t have a strong smell and it keeps the boxes smelling decently fresh between changing the litter. However this time when I purchased in February 2026 with the new packaging look, it’s so dusty I’m considering changing brands. The entire floor was coated with a layer of dust after one day. Dusty paw prints everywhere. Clouds come up when I scoop it and I’m sure the cats are breathing in so much dust when they use the box. It is also finer than it used to be so it is tracking everywhere. I would say this creates triple the mess. I can still smell the litter dust in the air, standing a good 5 yds away from the box after I scooped it. If this isn’t a one time quality issue I will be pretty disappointed since none of the other brands I’ve tried were truly low tracking, or didn’t stink. I wonder if a lot of people are having the same problem?

Great price and very good litter! I prefer the unscented for my kitty so he doesn’t have any reactions, and this is a great choice! I used to use crystal litter

Great price and very good litter! I prefer the unscented for my kitty so he doesn’t have any reactions, and this is a great choice! I used to use crystal litter because it has the color monitoring, but after realizing it doesn’t work that well I switched to this kind and my kitty took very well too it! It is has considerably less tracking than the crystal as well! Great choice!

Bigger granules than standard Fresh SteP

I got a new cat who has fur between her toe beans, which means much more litter tracking! I switched from the regular Fresh Step unscented to this and the pieces

I got a new cat who has fur between her toe beans, which means much more litter tracking! I switched from the regular Fresh Step unscented to this and the pieces are visibly larger and harder to track around.

happy cats = happy humans

Dear Readers, I rarely leave reviews and yet I read them all the time. My kittens came from a no-kill shelter - that saves all cats that are blind, which more people

Dear Readers, I rarely leave reviews and yet I read them all the time. My kittens came from a no-kill shelter - that saves all cats that are blind, which more people would adopt if they realized how cool they are! - and they took right to this. The vet reminds me, too, that cats do not like scented products as those are for the humans. Still, there is no need for a scented product as this unscented product works beautifully. Scooping is made easy and it's a zen-like experience to clean, my husband says. And I am busy writing this review. Zillie and Zoey say hello and they approve of this message.

Value and longevity

I'm writing this first review to praise the old version of this product. I loved buying this item on auto ship. My cats need the clean paws granules to minimize tracking and I appreciate the unscented variety because it's a lot less offensive than some of the super strong smalls other products can have. The natural odor fighting properties do the job right. I haven't had an order come in since the new packaging but recent reviews leave me skeptical that I'll be receiving the same quality product as before. I'll be leaving a separate review once I receive some of the newly circulated product.

Best litter box filler out there

I have tried many litter types over the years. Most of them worked well. However, my current 11-year-old cat pees and poops differently from most cats. She pees in one spot - and doesn’t cover anything. After I'm gone all day or after a full night, the spot where she pees is massive. Scooping becomes a challenge. She does not cover her poop either and she has large, wet piles, unlike most cats. Stinky would be an understatement. I have to scoop the litter box 2-3 times a day; occasionally more often. This type of litter makes scooping so much easier. Nothing breaks apart to make a bigger mess. The other litter types are finer granules and don’t hold together as well. My cat’s bigger messes require a different type of litter with the larger granules, that when it turns to clay it is a large clump that hold together. Also, she doesn’t track AS MUCH with this as she does with the other types of litter. I still have to sweep and vacuum, but it isn’t all over the place and so it is a much, much easier task to clean up.

Clean paws doesn't mean clean floors

We've been using regular Fresh Step Simply Unscented litter for years. It was extremely dusty, so much that my black kitty was always coming out of her litter box

We've been using regular Fresh Step Simply Unscented litter for years. It was extremely dusty, so much that my black kitty was always coming out of her litter box gray, plus sneezing and coughing from inhaling that cloud of dust, raising up in the air. So, I needed to dust her, and everything around every time she used her litter box. We've decided to try this Clean Paws litter, and see what happens. First, I have to admit, there is much less dust. No more sneezing, and my kitty coming out the same way she was getting in to her litter box -- black, no more dusty, gray kitties. Having said that, this litter has much bigger pieces, so much more visible litter on the floor. The chunks are pretty big, and if you'll step on them, it will hurt your feet, you will crush them into dust making huge mess on the floor, and on your feet. So, back to cleaning, only this time is yourself, and the floor. And every time I hear my kitty uses her litter box, I'm already standing by, waiting with my vacuum cleaner, and the broom.

Our New Favorite Litter

All three of my cats use the litter boxes (correctly!) when we use this litter. We have one older cat who will only use unscented, one three-legged cat who takes half the litter out of the box with him, and one newer cat who liked to sporadically pee with her butt sticking OUT of the box. We used Pretty Litter for a while because it didn't get tracked through the house (our male cat would track litter with larger pieces all through the house because he wouldn't bury but would instead step on it). However, we had issues with that sand like litter getting EVERYWHERE around the boxes and room. Another issue was that the urine didn't clump (it says that it absorbs back in, but it really ends up sinking to the bottom most of the time) and would make the boxes really smelly. We have not experienced those issues with this litter. The smell control is EXCELLENT. We scoop once a day, and there is no odor coming from the boxes or in the room. This is not zero tracking, but it is definitely minimal tracking. We are able to catch 95% of it with the mats (we use "Whisker Cat Litter Trap Mat" also sold on Chewy) and then just sweep up the little bit that gets outside of the box/mat area. There is NO tracking throughout the house beyond that little area. Fingers crossed that Fresh Step does not stop making this litter because we're big fans!

This litter tracks a lot less than Tidy Cat Free and Clear but it still tracks way outside the bathroom. It’s also a very strange looking litter. I didn’t have high hopes of it tracking less but it does. However, it is also more expensive so it isn’t ideal for a four cat household. It handles odor well. It clumps alright but it has the same problem as Tidy Cat. Urine just becomes a glob of mud. Once you pry it off the bottom of the box you have a mess and need to add more litter. I am back to searching for a litter that works well and is budget friendly.
