Is arm and hammer essentials for rat bedding?

I am having an issue with keeping the smell of my rat down. I bathe him and clean him bedding that I use now every other day and he still smells up my whole apartment. I have read that wood chips are bad to use as bedding so I don’t really know what my other options are. I need something that is not to much of a mess or hard to find, I live no where near a pet store. Is there anything that I could find at the local grocery store or a tractor supply store those are the only options within about 50 miles. I don’t want to use something that could hurt him but I also want to keep him. The smell is just getting too bad and my roommate is starting to get mad.
I have an air freshener for cat and dog odors and it seems good but you can still seem him over the freshener. Is there maybe something safe for rats that will actually get rid of the odor instead of just covering it up a bit? Also is there any bedding that can either cover up the smell or get rid of it?

Using Arm & Hammer is not a good idea. I would suggest buying Care Fresh bedding or Yesterday’s News which is litter made from recycled paper. I understand that getting to the pet store is an issue for you, but you can order it online and it will be mailed to you. The smell issue may be related to the size of the cage? How big is the cage you have him in? The smaller the cage, the more concentrated the smell.

One other suggestion I could give you is to use towels as bedding, which is common for grotto style habitats. I have a modified Ferret Nation cage and use towels which can be thrown into the washing machine and reused. That allows me to clean more often than my budget might allow if I were buying bedding. The only thing you need to watch for is that you stop using the towels when they have chewed holes as their heads could get caught. I get bath towels at Target for $3 to $4 per towel so in the long run, it saves money. Plus the towels are comfortable.
