We've used many kitty litters and none of them seem to do the job of controlling the odor! What do you use that works?

Excessively smelly waste is often due to diet (when there's no other health issue).

I think I've tried them all and hated them all. Currently I least hate ScoopAway Fresh Scent.

We've been using the Tidy Cat with Crystals but just tried a bag of Nature's Miracle and are pretty happy with it.

I've recently switched to the Arm & Hammer Flushable litter. Since I keep one of the boxes in the bathroom, it's really rather convenient. The best way to reduce odor is to scoop the box frequently, and since I see it more and don't have to take out the trash every time, this helps me.

I use Fresh Step and clean it every morning before i leave for work and when i come home if needed....after i scoop i use Tidy Cats deodorizer across the litter....and i put fresh litter in once a week. I also change out the filter in the litter box every 2 weeks or so. I live in a small one bedroom apartment and the only time i notice smells is when i'm gone for a day or two but that is to be expected. (and after she drops a hot one!) whew!
P.S. I believe my mom used Tidy Cats for muliple cats....she has 4 cats.
