FAQs
Fresh Step’s clay clumping litter combines naturally strong clay, enhanced with odor-eliminating activated charcoal, Ammonia Block Technology and paw-activated Febreze freshness for next-level odor control.
The natural power of premium clay minerals with advanced odor-fighting technologies delivers a fresh litter box experience.
- Our formula starts with highly absorbent clay, which quickly soaks up moisture and forms tight clumps — making scooping easy and helping prevent odors from spreading.
- We enhance this natural clumping action with activated charcoal, which helps trap and eliminate odors at the source.
- Our Ammonia Block Technology targets one of the most common and pungent litter box smells — ammonia — neutralizing it before it becomes noticeable.
- And for our scented varieties, we add paw-activated fragrance capsules that release a gentle burst of freshness when your cat steps into the box, keeping the area smelling clean without being overpowering.
Together, these elements work in harmony to deliver long-lasting odor control, low dust and easy cleanup — making Fresh Step a trusted choice for cat parents who want a litter that works as hard as they do.
Fresh Step scented litters are fortified with paw-activated odor control, meaning your cat helps keep their litter box smelling fresh — just by doing what they do naturally. Our scented litters contain tiny fragrance capsules that release a gentle burst of freshness when your cat steps into the box. It’s not overpowering — just enough to help eliminate odors and keep your litter area smelling clean.
Our Multi-Cat litter is now called Fresh Step Odor Shield, but don’t worry — it still delivers the same powerful performance you know and trust.
All Fresh Step litters are strong enough for multi-cat households, so you can choose the formula that best fits your needs.
We’ve updated some of our names:
- Multi-Cat is now Odor Shield
- Outstretch is now Ever Fresh
- Extreme Mountain Spring is now Extreme Clump
Same great performance with refreshed names. If you’d like more details, our Consumer Care team is happy to help.
All Fresh Step litters are designed to deliver powerful odor control and performance — even in homes with multiple cats. The best choice depends on your household’s specific needs:
- Prefer low tracking? Try Fresh Step Clean Paws, formulated to help keep litter in the box and off your floors.
- Need maximum odor control? Go with Fresh Step Heavy Duty, built to tackle even the toughest odors.
- Looking for a lighter option? Our Light Weight formulas offer the same strength in a more convenient, easy-to-carry package.
No matter which you choose, you’ll get the same trusted Fresh Step performance — perfect for one cat or many.
We’ve transitioned our lightweight litter from cartons to a new jug format, currently available in an 11.5 lb size. This packaging is designed to be easier to carry, more convenient to use, and still delivers the same trusted Fresh Step performance. One jug contains enough litter for 1 cat for 1 month based on average usage cycles.
Our lightweight formula is 35% lighter than Fresh Step Odor Shield regular clumping litter, making it easier to lift and pour — without compromising on odor control.
We currently offer:
- Fresh Step Odor Shield Light Weight
- And new to market: Fresh Step Odor Shield Light Weight with Gain Scent
Both are great options for powerful odor control in a lighter, easier to handle package.
Fresh Step clay clumping litters are compatible with most automatic litter boxes. We recommend checking with your litter box manufacturer to confirm compatibility before use.
