Yes. It absorbs any liquid, according to the manufacturer's website. I've used it on a hard wood floor to clean up motor oil and dog vomit. I was able to complete the task in a very short period of time.
This was purchased to help absorb moisture in the garage. I am not a pet owner. You did an excellent job of taking in information.
No, I do not believe that is true. It absorbs water or liquid well, but I don't believe it extracts moisture from the air.
Yes, this will absorb, but I am unable to estimate the amount you will require.

This material isn't particularly absorbent. As a result, they claim that this substance can absorb 7 times its own weight. Fantastic. br>br> How about in terms of quantity? br>br>For starters, they don't tell you how much the bag weighs (a 5 gallon bag weighs 4 pounds, so it has a density of 0. 8 pound per gallon - H2O has a pH of 8 as a reference. 35 pound per gallon). br>br>How about a 4 pound bag that absorbs 7 times its weight? That's a total weight of 28 kilos. br>br>Well, that's three if you're absorbing water. 35 gal. To put it another way, this 5 gallon bag will absorb three gallons of liquid. 35 gallons of water As a result, it absorbs 7 times its weight in volume but only 23% of its weight in weight. br>br>Would you like to absorb a gallon of water? It's not an issue. Use 1. This stuff comes in 5 gallon buckets. Regular cloth rags, at least, did this last time I checked. Probably a lot more. So spending $17 on something that will absorb only as well as sawdust, cardboard, or cornflour seems excessive. It is, in fact, $5. br>br> Cleaning costs $7 per gallon (of water or something similar). Yikes.
This was purchased after my car began to leak oil in the garage. It appealed to me because of its light weight and speed of operation. I only used a small amount to remove about a cup of oil. Worked it into the concrete with a broom and swept it up with a broom. It did exactly what it said it would do.
When I noticed a small amount of transmission fluid leaking in my driveway (the radiator had begun to split) on my daughter's car, I used this product.

For the majority of my childhood, I lived in a garage and had the unenviable task of sweeping up and cleaning oil spills. We always used the clay, which was a bit heavy (for a kid) but did the job. So I was hesitant to buy this product at first because I wasn't sure how well it would work. It, on the other hand, was a huge success. It absorbed a lot more oil from the concrete than I expected; you can still see the stain after cleaning it up, but no product I've used has completely dissolved all of the oil. The bay, however, is clean once more after a good pressure wash. This product is excellent for home garages, in my opinion. It's a lot easier to store than the old clay pellets, and it's almost as effective.
t, and I'm used to the style of floor with ground clay particles - Dri. It absorbs quickly and is simple to clean up. The word "sweep" is important to note. The larger particles in traditional clay-based floor-coverings are, by definition, larger. With a shop broom and a sweeping pan, dri is easily cleaned up. br> This stuff is very fine, and while it absorbs well, sweeping it up with a coarse floor broom, like my shop's floor wide broom, takes a little patience. It should work fine if you choose to vacuum. br> In general, I only use a bag of this size every few years. I tried this during Covid because my local auto parts store was charging the same price for the clay based. It is entirely up to you to make your decision.
To be fair, I only used this on an oil spill in my pole barn that was a few days old and it was around 30°F outside, so this isn't the best review or opportunity to see how well this product works; it did absorb some of the oil and appears to have potential, but I think cat litter would have been a better option at this point. Because it was so light, I didn't think it had enough weight to apply enough pressure to grab what was left on the surface. I'll try to provide a more detailed review once I've used it during the spill.
It works well, but it's a pain to work with because it's very light and easily blown around, almost like powder.
This stuff is incredible; it's as light as sawdust, but it can handle a lot of spillage with just a small cup full. I've been using kitty litter for a long time, but there's always some "wetness" left behind. This stuff, on the other hand, does an amazing job with such a small amount. I was hesitant at first because of the price, but when you consider that you get two to three times the pickup power of kitty litter, it's actually a great deal.
