Overview
This Purina Tidy Cats litter is the LightWeight, low dust clumping formula in the Glade Clear Springs scent, sold as a 6 pound jug. It uses a granule form and includes Tidy Lock technology that Purina states blocks ammonia odor for two weeks.
The lightweight formulation is meant to cut down on bag weight versus standard clay clumping litter while still clumping for scoop cleanup. The Clear Springs scent comes from a Glade partnership rather than being a Tidy Cats house scent, worth noting if you have a scent preference.
