[DML] Re: Motor Oil Spill - Clean Up

["Toby Peterson" <tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve - Greetings from Tokyo!  Cat litter made with clay is a very 
good way of cleaning up oil spills.  You sprinkle it onto the spill, 
and let it soak up the oil for a few minutes.  Then, you sweep up 
the cat litter, and the place where the oil was spilled is usaually 
quite clean.  This material works for almost all liquid spills.  In 
an emergency, you can also soak up oil with dirt.  This works pretty 
well, although not quite as good as clay-based cat litter.
