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

submitted by Kimmy 20 - 4 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! 🐱💪

Q: there is no scent shown on the box is there a no scent option?

Q: This product has specification listed that it up is made from clay, but the box says made from American grain. Are both true? I bought this because I found out clay-based litters contain lead & other toxins.

    No Dust.

    I'm trying this lightweight litter compared to the clay litter I usually use. I have 2 cats, so 2 litter boxes. The cats have no problem using the new litter, altho one seems to prefer the new Arm & Hammer and the other prefers the clay. A BIG plus for me is that this litter does not make any dust. A second plus is that it is light weight making it easy to carry for this old lady to carry. Another plus is that it makes nice solid clumps for scooping. You do have to wait a little while for the litter to solidify, because it doesn't get hard immediately after the cat does his business. Unfortunately, the litter still tracks through the house. What I dislike the most, is the perfumed smell of the litter. Every time the cat uses the litter box, the smell of the litter permeates the room. I also don't think the litter curbs the smell of cat urine, it just covers it with its own strong scent. Still undecided if I will purchase again in the future.

    Love this litter

    I have been buying this litter for awhile now. I use with my own 7 cats and my foster kittens. It doesn't end up smelling like the clay litters. I feel like it doesn't clump as hard as they advertise but it does clump well and doesn't fall apart like clay litter. It leaves the cat box clean. Nothing sticks to the box when scooping. I only wish they made it in a bigger size than the 16 lb box.

    Happy change

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Found a box reduced and been looking for a replacement litter as the cheap stuff we had been getting wasn't cutting it, complete clean out less than a week and didn't help with the smell. I've only had to top up this litter, scooping is easier than scrapping the clay off the bottom the litter trays. It being lightweight means, it's not killing my back by the end of the week when I take the trash down. People say the smell is strong but we haven't not notice any strong smell

    Not the best kitty litter

    This litter does not clump as promised, nor does it control odors very well. Our cat really did not like it. We're going back to our previous kitty litter.

    Great litter

    I love hard ball. It works great and never a smell. (That is scooping twice a day). It is pricey for because I have 7 cats. It is well worth the money.

    This is my favorite scented litter and one that clumps easily and stays clumped until removed. Wasn’t mix with other litters if desired!

    do not understand the hype

    i have no idea why people love this so much. the only good thing about it is how lightweight it is. it’s scented, which is not clear from the packaging. it honestly made my apartment smell worse, did not control the odor at all. doesn’t really clump that good. when you scoop, little pieces break off that are hard to pick up with the scooper. it also tracks EVERYWHERE. literally all over the floor, my bed, it even sticks to their fur when they cover their poop/pee. i really dislike this stuff

    Really Works!

    I bought this product when my usual item was out of stock and I must admit I wish I had tried this litter sooner. I was a bit skeptical at first, but there was a coupon that was offered and liked that it was a light weight product. It really does work like stated. Not only was it easy to pour, but extremely easy to scoop out and clean the litterbox. I only have two kitties, but boy do those guys GO lol! I like how the product seems to dehydrate the waste and shrinks it to make it easy to scoop clean out which is nice because there is practically no wait time and NO CRUMBLING! I also seems to seal in odors just like it describes. Its a great product and I am replacing both litterboxes with this litter exclusively. I definitely recommend this product, especially if you have more than 1 cat.

    Clumps great, but overwhelming scent

    I've been having trouble finding a lightweight litter that consistently clumps, especially during humid periods. The old clumping litter worked great until they discontinued it & then brought it back. I suspect that it was not the same & it appears to be gone once again. Anyway, this one works FANTASTICLY! It clumps beautifully, although it does tend to glue itself to the bottom of the tray which has been scratched up over the years. My only complaint is that the scent is overwhelming. It's kind of like that guy who has lovely cologne, but then he pours it on. Too much of a good thing. So, until this comes unscented, I probably won't buy it again.

    Strong perfume

    I bought this two days ago and returned it today. The perfume smell is so strong I would never use it for my cats. Your product needs to advertise that it is scented. It does not say it anywhere on the outside.

    Scent is terrible - please make it unscented!

    The scent is terrible. If they made this in unscented I would give it 10 stars. Everything about this litter is nice except the scent. Our house smells so gross with the litter scent. We are searching for a different solution. Please make the Hardball Lightweight Easy No-Mess Scooping Platinum in an unscented version. That would be the perfect litter!
