Peculiarities
Cats are clean animals, very sensitive to unpleasant odors. That is why pets are very often very demanding on the contents of their litter box. Ever Clean cat litter revolutionized the industry in 1987. While other brands have paid more attention to the high absorbency of granules, this brand decided to focus on an innovative product. The company was the first in the United States to create clumping fillers based on natural clay, constantly improving the formulas of its products.
In 2006, Ever Clean introduced Carbon Plus, an activated carbon-based odor-neutralizing additive. After another 9 years, the composition was improved again, it has additional advantages in particle clumping.
Household cats and their owners have been given access to food of the highest hygiene and environmental standards, and litter box cleaning has become a no-brainer.
There are other features of Ever Clean fillers.
- Using bentonite clay as a base. This natural material has a high moisture absorption capacity. And also it does not need decomposition, since it contains only safe components.
- Elimination of unpleasant odor. Activated carbon obtained from coconut shells, even in unflavored fillers, prevents the spread of odors. However, he does not mask them, but completely removes them.
- Especially gentle formula. Small granules do not create discomfort on the sensitive pads of the cat's paws.
- Possibility of disposal together with household waste. You can dispose of used pellets with your regular waste.
- Safe composition. In addition to bentonite clay and activated carbon, some products use tested silica gel and flavors. They do not harm the health of animals upon contact.
Today the brand is based in the Netherlands. All of its products fully comply with the established quality and safety standards adopted in the EU countries.

In the line of odorless fillers, there are several product options.

Unflavored tray mixes are suitable for people who are allergic to certain additives or for cats who avoid strong odors.
With flavor
A specific smell in the room where the litter box is installed can appear even when using the best litter. In addition, pet owners can be particularly sensitive to ammonia fumes. In this case, a good solution may be to use products with a fragrance that helps maintain a comfortable atmosphere in the house. Ever Clean has offers in this category as well. The flavored line includes a range of products.
- Lavender. The light scent of lavender is the ideal solution for keeping the air fresh for a long time.It comes from the pellets only if it comes into contact with moisture, faeces, or the animal's paws while digging. Clumping of the mixture takes a minimum of time, while excess dust does not form. The activated charcoal in the composition is great at dealing with odors coming from the tray.
- Spring Garden. The light and delicate aroma of a spring garden does not cause negative feelings in cats, it is liked by most animals. The freshness of the indoor air is maintained throughout the day. The pellets instantly absorb moisture and odor, helping to facilitate cleaning of faeces by completely covering them. The special aroma composition is made up of safe ingredients that do not harm the cat's health.
- Fast Acting Odor Control. The special formula of the product with a mixture of plant extracts is designed for the most effective fight against unpleasant odors. It is the best choice for litter boxes used in small spaces. Accelerated odor blocking helps to cope with ammonia vapors or fecal fumes in the first 3 seconds. The activation of the aromatic composition occurs upon contact with the cat's paws.
Clumping cat litter products differ markedly from other products. It is important to understand that the presence of a fragrance does not negate regular cleaning. But with such components it is much easier to maintain a pleasant atmosphere in a house or apartment, especially if the living space is limited.
When using the flavored formula for the first time, it is worth observing the cat's reaction. Not all animals react well to odors.
For kittens
Kittens have special needs for a comfortable visit to the litter box. Their feet are tiny and very delicate, and their respiratory system is sensitive to dust. Ever Clean has a dedicated product for these occasions. Littlefree Paws is an oversized lumpy mixture ideal for toddlers of all breeds and longhair cats. A limited amount of dust also helps to achieve ideal cleanliness of the paws - its formation is reduced by up to 99%.
The flavored composition allows you to better deal with unpleasant odors. Moreover, it is activated for intensive work only with moistening or contact exposure. The rest of the time, the smell will be as unobtrusive as possible. Dust-free loading of the tray can be important for people with lung problems.
For multiple cats
If there are several animals in the house at once, you have to take into account the individual needs of each of them. The Ever Clean brand has developed a special Multiple Cat product. This is a flavored contact filler, the smell of which is manifested when kneading or tearing the granules with their paws. The product has its own characteristics:
- maximum elimination and control of odor;
- long-term preservation of fresh air in the room;
- focus on abundant moisture intake;
- combating the odor of feces and ammonia;
- no problems when using the tray by several animals at once.
Even if cats use different litter boxes, toilet training can be problematic. Correctly selected filler helps to deal with emerging difficulties. The animals do not feel discomfort, and the owner can only remove the crumpled pellets and faeces.
Usage Tips
It is very important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines when using clumping litter. First and foremost is careful dosing. A layer of clumping particles with a height of about 7 cm must be poured into the tray. This corresponds to 5 kg of the mass of the filler - 2 such portions will be enough for 45-60 days of use. The surface is leveled.
After the cat has visited the litter box, the adhered particles are removed with a scoop and discarded along with the excrement and absorbed moisture. It is strictly forbidden to flush such waste into the sewer system.After removing the clumped particles, it is enough to simply fill the vacated space with new filler.
You don't have to throw away the entire contents of the tray; it retains its freshness.
The manufacturer does not recommend the use of Ever Clean fillers for rodents. All products are designed with the feline anatomy and physiology in mind. They are not intended for other animals. If the pet has swallowed a small amount of pellets, contact with them will pass without a trace. If a significant volume of lumpy filler is ingested, it is best to take the animal to the veterinarian.
Cats may have problems with habituation when switching from a different brand of litter. In this case, it is permissible to gradually increase the volume of the clumping Ever Clean mixture, adding it to the composition familiar to the pet. The transition will take no more than a week. In other cases, you should not mix fillers of different brands.
Review overview
According to cat owners, Ever Clean's clumping litters are truly quality products. Buyers note that with them, the tray has to be emptied completely less often, and specific odors in the room are no longer a problem. At the same time, it is indicated that such fillers work better in containers with high sides, otherwise it will be difficult to pour a sufficiently thick layer of the mixture. Cat owners mention that the animals themselves willingly use the toilet with such a composition, and the period of training to the litter box is much faster and easier.
Disadvantages are also periodically discovered. For example, owners complain that small pellets get stuck in the paws of the animal. And also there are references to the abundant formation of dust, the transfer of particles from the container to the floor and surrounding surfaces. Some pet owners are not particularly happy with the value of this product.
