FreshAire with Bio-Filters

Here's the latest litter we've tried in our quest for the best - FreshAire with Bio-Filters. It's new, having launched only this March. The litter touts itself as the 'World's First Hybrid Litter' because it's a mixture of two types of clay and organic wood.


This is one of the 'greener' litter options as it contains biodegradable materials. Out of the tub, the litter looks almost like sawdust. The smell was pine-like and inoffensive.

The litter is great on paper, but it didn't meet up to its hype. Odor control was lacking. I had to supplement it with Arm & Hammer baking soda. Even with this boost, the odors still permeated the room.

The litter is made of soft, tiny pieces of wood. While dust was not a problem, the litter tracked everywhere! When Rufus goes, he must walk down the BoodaDome stairs and wipe his paws on a little towel before he can go about his day. Yet somehow the litter wound up in the farthest corners of the room. I've never seen litter tracked like this before! The litter did a decent job of clumping but not a great one.

We give FreshAire credit where it is due. It can't be said enough how much we appreciate that a company has designed a litter made of chemical-free, all-natural materials that are easy on paws. BUT...there are a few necessary tweaks before we can give it a higher rating.

Needless to say, we are still searching for that ever elusive 'four paw'-rated litter!!

  1. Thanks for checking it out for us! We're always on the look-out for better and more eco-friendly litter. Since there are four of us kitties, odor control is a big priority when Mommy buys litter.

  2. Thank Rufus and you for letting us know! My human Tommy says we're back to regular ol Tidy Cat-not the scoop kind, she says. Odor is a big deal, since Tommy says a whole neighborhood seems to live here and we don't have jobs. :) Thanks again!
