5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a lightweight liter that works
I experimented when my old litter stopped working. I filled several boxes with all different kinds of litter. This one was hands down my favorite. It's been 2+ months now, and the litter still clumps just as nicely as it did on day one. The clumps are hard and it desiccates the solid waste very well. It's lightweight so it scoops easily. Since the clumps don't break apart very easily you only scoop out waste, and it's cheaper in the long run. The only downside is the unique scent. It's not horrible, but it's strong so if you or your cats are sensitive, you may not like it. My cats, who have unscented litter available, do tend to use that over this, but they still use it. However, you NEVER smell ammonia in this litter, even if the box doesn't get scooped for a couple of days. All the other clay-based litters develop an ammonia smell in the same length of time. As my other litter brands run out, I'll replace them with this. It's a little pricy to start, but it's worth it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Where has this litter been all my life?!?!!
This is the ABSOLUTE BEST litter my multicat (6, spoiled, inside/outside, farm working, country living cats) house has ever had.PROs:• excellent, almost instant, clumping action• clumps congeal into hard & durable lumps that stay together (unless you have a VERY active digger/burier, in which case you end up with more smaller, hard & durable lumps, that while end up as smaller clumps they are also hard and durable)• dust is practically nonexistent• the scent, while initially strong, does fade away eventually BUT the odor containment capability does not fade, even if the scent is gone.• since the clumps of urine stay together (even if you only scoop once a week on occasion!) the full pan of litter rarely needs to be completely emptied and replaced due to a build up of urine smell from the broken clumping action and dried pee smell of clay and other more traditional litter, so there is less waste.• with less waste, and better efficiency, I go through substantially less litter.• while this litter, at first look, seems more expensive than other high quality litter, in the long run it is much LESS expensive when its durability, longevity of odor control, and the length of time between complete litter changes are taken into consideration.• it does not stick hard to the litter pan, and if the “deposit” reaches the bottom of the pan this litter does not leave a residue like clay based litter. This also helps keep the odor build up to a minimum.• it’s vacuumable without disintegrating into filter clogging dust• passes harmlessly through sneaky dogs digestive tract when they get in a “kitty crunchy” or 5 while you aren’t looking. It generally emerges from the dog in the form of a dog poo cow pie and quickly solidifies into a hard clump upon “deposit.”CONs:• only comes in the flowery scent. I would much prefer a more neutral pine, cedar, lemon, or vanilla scent if there HAS to me a scent.• since this litter is lighter weight, cats who are powerful litter diggers/flippers tend to “fling it about” a bit more than clay litters.In our house it seems to be more flinging than tracking that propels it out of its box.• with the above “con” in mind, we have opted to switch the litter box to a high sided tote rather than a traditional litter box because it seems to contain the majority of the “high spirited” digging/flinging/flipping of my more exuberant felines.Bottom line:Absolutely the best overall litter I am currently aware of on the market, hands down. After starting my big litter box with an initial purchase of 2 bags, I maintain an order of 1 bag a month for my household of 6 inside/outside cats and have not run out in the almost 2 years that I have been using this litter. 15/10 DO recommend😆
5.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight and Effective
### **"Lightweight and Effective: ARM & HAMMER Hardball Lightweight Platinum Multi-Cat Clumping Litter Review"**I recently switched to the **ARM & HAMMER Hardball Lightweight Platinum Multi-Cat Clumping Cat Litter** in the **Garden Bloom scent**, and it’s been a great upgrade for managing my multi-cat household. This **16.5 lb. bag** provides a lightweight but highly effective solution for controlling odor and making clean-up easier. Here’s my full review after using it for a few weeks.### **Lightweight and Easy to Handle**One of the standout features of this cat litter is how **lightweight** it is compared to traditional clumping litters. At only **16.5 lbs**, it’s much easier to carry and pour, which is a huge bonus for anyone who struggles with the bulk and weight of larger litter bags. Despite being lightweight, it covers just as much as heavier litters, making it an efficient and manageable option for multi-cat households.The litter is easy to pour without making a mess, and it doesn’t create a lot of dust, which is great for minimizing airborne particles that could irritate both you and your cats.### **Hard Clumps for Easy Scooping**As the name suggests, this litter forms **hard, solid clumps**, making it easy to scoop without leaving behind any loose litter. The clumps stay together really well, even after a full day of use, so I don’t have to deal with crumbling or scattered pieces when cleaning the litter box. This feature helps to keep the litter box cleaner for longer, reducing the need for full box changes as frequently.The **hardball clumping** action really shines when it comes to **multi-cat** use, as it’s designed to hold up under frequent use. My cats use the box regularly, and I’ve found that the litter doesn’t break down or become muddy, which can be an issue with other types of clumping litters.### **Odor Control with Garden Bloom Scent**The **Garden Bloom scent** is another highlight of this litter. The fragrance is **pleasant and not overpowering**, providing a fresh, clean scent that helps mask litter box odors effectively. ARM & HAMMER is known for its **odor-neutralizing power**, and this litter is no exception. The **baking soda** in the formula helps to neutralize odors immediately, and the **light floral scent** keeps the room smelling fresh without being too strong or artificial.Even with multiple cats, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in odor. The scent is subtle enough not to bother my cats, but it’s strong enough to keep the litter box area smelling good between cleanings.### **Low Dust and Tracking**One of the things I appreciate most about this litter is how **low in dust** it is. When pouring or scooping, there’s minimal dust, which is great for both my cats’ respiratory health and keeping my home cleaner. The litter particles themselves are **fine but not too small**, so they don’t track as much as other brands I’ve used.I’ve noticed much less litter outside the box, which makes cleaning around the litter area easier and reduces the amount of sweeping or vacuuming I have to do.### **Multi-Cat Strength**This litter is designed for **multi-cat households**, and it absolutely holds up under the pressure of multiple cats using the same box. The **clumping action** and **odor control** are strong enough to keep the litter box clean and fresh, even with frequent use. I’ve noticed that I don’t need to completely change the litter as often because the clumps are solid and the odor is well-controlled.It’s also worth noting that the lightweight formula doesn’t compromise on performance. Sometimes lightweight litters can be less effective than traditional options, but this one performs just as well, if not better, in terms of clumping and odor control.### **Pros**- **Lightweight**: Easy to carry and pour, making it much more manageable than traditional heavy litters.- **Hard clumps**: Forms solid clumps that are easy to scoop, reducing mess and making clean-up quick and simple.- **Great odor control**: The **Garden Bloom scent** combined with ARM & HAMMER’s baking soda technology neutralizes odors effectively, even in multi-cat households.- **Low dust**: Minimal dust when pouring and scooping, which is great for both cats and humans.- **Reduced tracking**: The litter doesn’t track as much as other brands, keeping the area around the litter box cleaner.- **Multi-cat strength**: Designed to handle the demands of multi-cat households without breaking down or becoming muddy.### **Cons**- **Scent preference**: While I enjoy the **Garden Bloom** scent, those who prefer unscented litter or are sensitive to fragrances may find it a bit strong, although it’s generally mild compared to other scented litters.- **Price**: As an online exclusive formula, it may be a little more expensive than other options, but the performance and ease of use justify the cost, especially in multi-cat homes.### **Final Thoughts**The **ARM & HAMMER Hardball Lightweight Platinum Multi-Cat Clumping Cat Litter** is a fantastic option for multi-cat households. Its lightweight design makes it easy to handle, while the **hard clumping** and **odor control** features make it incredibly effective at keeping the litter box clean and fresh. The **low dust and reduced tracking** are added bonuses, making it a convenient and reliable choice for cat owners.If you’re looking for a lightweight, high-performance litter that offers excellent odor control and easy clean-up, I highly recommend giving this litter a try. It’s a great balance of convenience and effectiveness, perfect for keeping your multi-cat household smelling fresh and staying clean.
Simply The Best!
EDIT: STILL GOOD BUT NOT AS GOOD AS IT WAS. I've been using this for several months now and the clumping properties are still superior but unfortunately, it seems that there has been a change in the formula which has resulted in reduced odour control. For the first few months, there was a very strong scent when the bag was first opened. I didn't find it unpleasant, but I know there were some comments that it was overpowering. Personally, I'd prefer to smell a strong garden bloom scent over the smell of ammonia. I've noticed that the scent is much, much milder which, isn't necessarily bad. However, what is bad is the litter box odour, even with daily scooping. Although the superb clumping and easy scooping, leaves the litter looking clean, the ammonia smell means more frequent dumping of litter that has lots of clumping life left in it, which is very disappointing, especially for the price. I am still using it, for now, but I do hope they either, increase scent ingredients again, or perhaps offer an additional scent booster, which won't interfere with the clumping ability.This is absolutely the BEST cat litter I've ever used. After years of struggling with regular clay litter and clumping cat litter that only half clumps, leaving a sticky mess in the bottom of the litter box, I went on a quest to find something that would be less of a struggle. I found a different Arm & Hammer litter that worked REALLY well but it tracked a lot. I did some research and found the Arm & Hammer Hardball litter which had great reviews, and one strong point was that it was low tracking, so I figured I'd try it. Am I ever glad I did! Like the other Arm & Hammer litter I tried, it forms hard balls which are super easy to scoop out. The texture is very fine, similar to the other one, and it sifts through the litter scoop really well, leaving fresh, clean litter behind, once the clumps and solid waste have been scooped out. After scooping, there are literally, no traces of waste at all. It's like a fresh littler box every time. It is 100% dust free, and lightweight so not only is there less trash to dispose of, but it is lighter too. Although there still is some tracking with this one, it is very manageable, especially if you use a littler mat. It is pricey but, given the fact that you only need to remove small clumps, most of the litter remains in the litter box much longer than with traditional litters so there is much less waste. The scent is quite strong but I don't mind it at all. I have noticed no "litter box smells" since I started using this litter, which is a huge plus. Now, my only complaint is that it is very difficult to find. There are very few places it can be purchased in Canada and unfortunately, it is sold out here on Bolo, and has been for a while. Now that I'm sold on this, I really hope it is back in stock soon!
Cero olores, cero desorden
Nos encantó a todos. Ya no huele a nada. Aglutina perfecto y dura varios días la arena.No sé si para los gatos es fuerte el aroma pero cambiaré solo de versión pero definitivamente no de marca
I wasn’t fan of this
I was t really sure what I was ordering but that was my fault. It was ok but I just wasn’t for my cat he didn’t seem to like it and mixing his other cat litter in with it I was r too keen, but that’s just me and the cat lol
Does what it says!!
Awesome
This litter is amazing. I just really wish it came in a way bigger size. Unfortunately due to the amount of litter you get and the amount of money it costs having 4 cats (one a Maine coon who needs a giant litter box, and another just big boned boy, who also needs a big litter box) it just does not work for us financially, which really sucks because this literally is the best. It turns all liquid into a gel substance, so it doesn't break apart and fall into the clean litter causing that ammonia build up smell. The smell of this is pretty strong at first but nice, it does fade over time.Again just too bad it didn't turn out for our family!
