Q: Is this equivalent to 20 lb of regular cat litter

submitted by Kimmy 20 - 5 months ago
  • A: Great question! While Arm & Hammer™ Hardball Cat Litter comes in a 10.5 lb bag, its powerful clumping and odor control may mean you use less over time compared to some 20 lb regular litters. It’s designed to be long-lasting, so performance—not just weight—is what really counts! 🐱💪

    Great odor control

    Great litter for odor control. I have 1 cat that refuses to use an automated litter box, so I use this litter in her litter box & it absorbs odor & is a hard clumping litter

    Awesome litter!

    Been using for over 6 months and would not use any other litter. Lightweight to carry, controls odor and cats happy. This is part of a review for Kitty Kreme and opinions are my own.

    No more dust!

    This is the only cat litter I have used since I discovered it a year ago. No more white dust in the house! It feels like clumpy beach sand and smells fantastic. I love this product and I buy it up every time it’s on sale.

    This letter has changed my life!!!

    I started using Arm & Hammer Hardball litter about 6 months ago and it has changed my life. As long as you keep up with it and scoop once or twice a day which is super easy because it's so clean and lightweight, you will never have to wash your litter box. Nothing gets on it. I used to despise the whole process of changing the litter box because I had to wash it out and rinse it and dry it and clean it and that never needs to happen. The litter box never gets wet or dirty and it never smells. Just keep up on your scooping and it works like a miracle. I'll never go back to regular litter again.

    Amazing litter

    Absolutely the best. I did have to mix cat litters while my cats got used to this one. They were unsure of the texture. This cat litter is pretty much odorless. My cat boxes hardly smell, low dust, fresh scent actually clumps and holds together. Mine have not been balls of clumps. But the clumps are definitely stay together. Lasts longer as I use less and the smell stays fresh.

    great litter

    my cats are very picky about their litter and they had been having accident issues with the litter that i had been using for years. got this because it was the only one in stock at my store when i ran out and i was nervous that they wouldn’t like it, but they love it! they haven’t been having accidents since changing to this litter. it also has a slight scent to it which is nice. it does kind of get all over and i have to vacuum it up pretty often, but i think that’s just an issue with my kitten making a mess, not the actual product.

    Gag me!

    I have 12 fluff monsters, all inside. I have tried EVERY litter ever made except those crystals. I tried the lightweight Hardball litter. From the moment it was put into the cat box to the trek to the trashcan outside after the entire box was dumped well before it was time, I gagged. It smells like an empty rancid carton of vanilla ice cream left out to rot. Bending over to scoop was even worse. Yes, it is lightweight but can still will turn to paste if you are gone to work for the day. I filled 2 boxes with 2 boxes of this hardball stuff that does not clump any better than other litters. I dumped all of it into the rubbish sooner than usual because the smell of the litter was horrible. If you are a diligent scooper not overpowering scent is needed. I don't smell the pee/poop when I scoop almost immediately. Too expensive, but the weight was good. As with ALL the cat litter products here, the pouring from the box openings is difficult because the little side opening is too small, especially on the larger boxes. Most old crazy cat ladies are on limited incomes, so it is cheaper to buy the 38lb boxes, yet impossible to lift to pour. In my opinion, not matter what size box you buy, the price per pound should ALL be the same. Stop penalizing consumers buy having higher prices for smaller boxes. I have gone back to Slide but am spending a fortune!

    worst litter i’ve ever used. it leaves such a mess and i find it everywhere. doesn’t clump well, so the name is a lie. Not compatible with the petsafe self sifting box, it shoveled all of the litter into the dump tray and clumped onto the rake.

    Best litter I've tried

    Probably the best cat littler I’ve tried so far. Covers smell, clumps very well so the litter after scooping isn’t nasty and dirty from broken clumps. It tracks a bit but all clay litter does.

    I bought this product a month ago because of its light weight. I've had up to 13 cats at a time for the last 30 years. This is hands down the BEST hard clumping, smell reducing, dust free, light weight litter.

    The very best kind

    I can’t recommend every single arm & hammer hardball cat litter. The lightweight fresh effects is lighter which is nice when you have trouble lugging cat litter up 3 flights of stairs when you live alone. It makes it incredibly easy to scoop the cat box without any crumbly messes. I am receiving points toward rewards in the Kitty Krew Community for writing this review. All opinions are my own.

    HardBall

    We changed over to the HardBall cat litter several months ago. I will not change from HardBall. It clumps great and leaves no odor. Easier to clean litter box. Scoop daily and enjoy more time with my 2 beautiful orange furbabies. Pumpkin turned 12 years old in the spring. Precious turned 5 years. Both are spoiled rotten

    I've had cats for many years and Hardball Litter is the absolute best. I won't buy anything else for my litter boxes. It's clean and makes cleaning them so much faster! I was incentivized for this review.
