It can work with some odours - very useful for keeping fridges clean, and for washing down dishwashers and washing machines that have gone a bit pongy - and for use in footwear, but think it depends on the basis of the odour - ie acid or alkiline.  What were you thinking of using it for?

Was just thinking about that too.  We use catsan, and haven't had any problems with odour, but it's a  bit pricey so not everyone favours it, and some cats don't like it.  There are other varieties out there though that are clumping and cheaper, which may be worth a try.

I highly recommend Tigerino Nuggies litter from Zooplus it is super absorbant so you just scoop out the clumps and this means it lasts for ages it's also a very good price  2 x 14kg for £13.90 http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/cats/cat_litter/clumping_litter/tigerino/59535   (I have 3 litter trays and a 14kg bag can last just over a month in our house.)

i would like to still try things to stop any odours just incase.
