About Fresh Step
Fresh Step is a clumping cat litter with activated carbon for odour control, and it is one of the two largest litter brands in the United States. Cat litter is among Clorox's more profitable businesses. Clumping litter, which lets soiled material be removed without changing the whole tray, replaced plain clay through the 1990s and reshaped the category.
