I hated the greyish dust that seemed to move through the entire house when I used any kind of clay-based litter, and even the very fine newspaper litter. I switched to SwheatScoop and there is barely any dust at all. It's made a big difference to the amount of dust collecting on surfaces and I can now leave my towels on the shelves outside the bathroom near the litter room. It's not perfect, I doubt if any cat litter will satisfy cats and humans completely. Although it's quite fine, the granules are a bit bulkier than the clumping litter and it does track more. Since you vacuum every other day, this shouldn't be a problem. I also find that the cats are less likely to cover poop since they don't like digging in it - but you have fans in the room so that should take care of that. You probably, like most of us here, clean the litter room a couple of times a day so the poop is scooped away pretty quickly. There is no urine odor at all, even after they've just peed. Although it does clump, the granules don't soak up as much urine as clay based clumping litter, so you use more litter and there is more to scoop away. I feel this litter is best for the cat's and my health, and best for the house.

I have a Miele vacuum cleaner, the one that picks up cat fur really well. It was one of the home improvement purchases I made when I took out a home equity loan last year, a real investment and worth every penny. When I switch to my old Hoover downstairs, even though it's a good one, the difference is dramatic - I have to work over the surfaces with that one.

I liked moosmom's suggestion since I wear a "virtual" blindfold all the time.
