Pros: Made by the Clorox people, soapy scent that covers the offensive kitty smells.
Cons: Not the best if you are worried about tracking.
The Bottom Line: If you have multiple cats, or one very, shall we say smelly cat, this litter covers the smell most effectively.

| Suzer's Full Review: Scoop Away Clean Multi Cat Formula 31lb Bonus Buck... |
I am not a litter box afficionado even though I am an animal lover, (dogs, cats, you-name-it-bugs excluded). I do not care about litter boxes, other than resenting the effort, hating the smell, avoiding the cleaning.
I purchased this Scoop Away Multiple Cat Formula made by Clorox simply because it was there in the pet food/product aisle, and I was out of litter. I generally find litter to either be off-putting to my cats, poor tracking control, ineffective odor control, too much like gravel, etc.
Unfortunately on top of the other issues I've noted above, I have a very meticulous Siamese cat named Jaz, who will not step in the litter box if there is anything resembling cat excrement in it. If lumpy, or moist, she would much prefer going on the carpet. This has become extremely frustrating to me, and I'll be honest, as much as I love her, I've felt very upset with her.
I work 40 plus hours per week, have elderly parents in a retirement home, have dogs to walk, swim for exercise, so constantly changing a litter box is not a top priority. I have 2 boxes for 3 cats in a smallish house so I want the best most effective product for my motley crue of kitties.
With few hopes for this litter I was amazed to find that it has a very soapy sort of scent to it. It obscures the smell of urine and feces, and provided the feces are removed at least once daily, my Siamese is happy to put her pampered, spoiled paws into this litter.
Warnings/suggestions:
Pregnant women should have someone else change the litter as animal feces can transmit toxoplasmosis and that can be dangerous to pregnant women. Also, anyone whose immune systems is vulnerable, either have someone else change the litter box, or very carefully wash your hands every time you clean it out.
While this is not on the packaging, the soapy smell is strong, so everyone should be careful with it as they would other litters or talcum powder, etc.
Summing up:
This is an excellent litter (the best I've found) for eliminating catbox odor, and has been given a thumbs up by my finicky Siamese cat as well as her 2 other cohorts.
Be cautious if you are vulnerable for any reason, and the Clorox people do suggest putting a mat, rug, or I suggest newspaper if you read them, don't read them, and/or want to avoid the cost of those expensive litter box mats.
It does track, is mildly gravelly, but for me the avoidance of odor is the most important function of litter and this one is great.
Thanks for reading!
