Q: This appears to be packaged in a paper box. Is there an inner liner?
submitted by Mike - 3 years ago
A: It's a THICK cardboard box with a handle, not paper. I've been using this litter for multiple cats for decades. I have never had an issue with the box. My boxes arrive shrink wrapped as well.
submitted bySharon - 2 years agoA: There's no liner inside the cardboard box.

I’ve always bought this unscented brand but recently it’s been scented. I don’t know if there was a mix up in production or what. I’m not ok with having fragrance in my cats litter

No longer any good
Have used this litter for years and it was the best. Within this past year, something has changed other than the color being darker. The granules are finer, it leaves dust EVERYWHERE and it has a light scent.

Thanks for sharing your review. We're sorry to hear you were disappointed with our Simply Unscented Litter. Many of the ingredients that go into the litter are from the earth and have naturally occurring color variations. Though appearance may vary (such as color and particle size), it shouldn't impact the performance of the litter. In the meantime, we want to help. Please reach out to us at 800-325-9259 and mention #251126-000431. We look forward to assisting you.

Why did you ruin a great litter?!
This used to be great litter; almost no dust and UNSCENTED, which is important for my cat with asthma. However, something changed mid-2025. It is now horribly dust (clouds of dust when you pour it out) and an overwhelming perfume smell. Why did you change it?! Also, it now forms a thick sludge and doesn’t clump well. I started noticing my wire scoop gets wet litter caked on it when I scoop. It never used to do this. Please bring back the old formulation!!

REFORMULATED and no longer works!
I've used this litter for more than a decade. In the last couple of months, I noticed that it has a chemical scent, but more importantly, it does not function as litter. Urine pools and creates a cement-like sludge that gets tracked all over the house. Hundreds of others have reported the same all over the internet. I contacted Fresh Step and was offered a refund for boxes I still had UPC codes for, though they deny a reformulation... I will be switching to a different brand immediately.

Highly perfumed and disgusting
We used this unscented cat litter for years, ordering from Target as it was hard to find elsewhere. Imagine our surprise when the latest batch arrived -- it absolutely REEKS of perfume, which is a deal-breaker in this allergenic household. Actually, NO ONE should use perfume, including cats. It is completely unhealthy for everyone.

Excellent Cat Litter!
I never thought I’d be writing a review on cat litters but my cats are making me. This litter is my pick, because it’s vet-approved.

Litter sticks to the side of box
I bought this litter after doing research on the best cat litters and this one was recommended as one of the best… turned out to be one of the worst litters I’ve ever used. It clings to the sides of the box. The clean up process is a nightmare. Also I’m pretty sure it’s scented.

The new formula is smelly and messy
The new formula is AWFUL! It is very dusty and makes the whole room stink. I bought in bulk not knowing it had changed, and unfortunately my cat hates it too. 😠 The old formula was fantastic, and I really hope they bring it back.

Not unscented. Clearly has smell of scents. Why is it being sold under " Unscented" ?

What happened to this litter?
We’ve been using this for years, but whatever has changed in the formula recently has made it terrible. No clumping, no odor control and it leaves sludge in the box. I have one bag left and will be finding another litter.

Terrible product that I will avoid in the future.
I am extremely disappointed with this product! It is definitely NOT unscented, the chemical lemony stench is so powerful it lingers on my clothes for hours after cleaning a litter box! It is very dusty, it does not clump, it makes my cats sneeze, and makes me feel ill to use and deal with it!

Scented!
This litter is scented. As soon as I opened the box I could smell it - a sweet and perfumey odor. I can’t tell you how well it works because there are too many allergies in my family to be able to use this litter.

Simply Unscented is no longer Unscented.
I recently purchased a new 6-pack of the Simply Unscented litter and was so disappointed in the changes that have been made. Simply Unscented is no longer unscented, and this is a deal breaker for our household as my husband is highly allergic. The chemical smell is overwhelming, the litter grains are smaller and don’t clump like it used to, and it’s dusty and makes us sneeze. I’m so unhappy about this! I’m going to have to suffer through the remaining bags while I look for another option. I hope you go back to the old formula - and quickly!!!

Litter works wonders!
This litter is great! I've used it for several years and will not use anything else. Scent is mild and it hides odor. Price could be a little lower but try to wait until it goes on sale.
