It has been really hot and humid where we live, so the litter boxes have been extra stinky if I don’t stay on top of cleaning them. One issue that we have never had before shocked me when when I was scooping litter a few weeks ago – mold. We have NEVER had a mold issue before no matter how hot and humid our basement got. The mold only seemed to be in the litter boxes and in the garbage pail that we dispose of litter in – nowhere else in the basement. I started doing some research and found out that a lot of people who used natural litters experience the same issues when it was humid out. That’s what had changed – I had recently started mixing our usual litter with a natural litter that I recently reviewed and loved.
I learned that aflatoxins are poisonous carcinogens that are produced by certain molds that grow in soil, decaying vegetation, hay, and grains. They are also regularly found in improperly stored staple commodities such as cassava. Cassava is what our previous litter was made from. Needless to say, we won’t be using that litter – at least not during the hot humid seasons!
So back to our a regular clumping clay litter in all the boxes. Based on price, availability, and quality we almost always buy Fresh Step. It seems to work well for our cats and it clumps tight. We have been buying it primarily from Chewy.com because they also have Harleys supplements that the vet recommends, and Chewy has been fantastic about quick delivery – even in the midst of this pandemic which is driving more people to order online, all my shipments have been on time!
Since we were already big fans of Fresh Step, I was thrilled when I was asked If I would be interested in trying new Fresh Step’s Febreze Freshness Gain Scented Clumping Clay Cat Litter! This formula is made with the power of Febreze Gain Original scent to help keep your cat’s litter box and your home smelling nice and fresh.
It also contains activated charcoal to stop bacterial odor for up to 10 days. The Ammonia Block Technology helps combat some of the strongest odors from feces and urine while the paw-activated fragrance releases every time your cat steps in her litter box. This comes in really handy since neither of my boys likes to cover their business in the box. If I happen to be in the room, they will cover their deposits, but otherwise, they just leave it sitting right on top.
This Fresh Step litter has a unique ClumpLock technology that helps absorb liquid, keep odors contained on contact and create tight clumps that are easy to scoop! Plus, it’s 99.9% dust-free to help keep surfaces clean and allowing you and your cat to breathe with ease.
