Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal Lightweight
Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal Lightweight earns its spot by combining strong odor-sealing chemistry with easy-to-scoop hard clumps in a noticeably lighter formula, making handling and storage simpler for everyday use. Technically it leverages baking soda-powered sealants for long-lasting odor control at a mid-range price, offering a cost-effective alternative to premium unscented options like Ever Clean while generally producing firmer clumps than some budget lightweight litters.
