Many large industrial users, buy kitty litter by the ton in large 40 lb. bags - flot because they've got a pack of lions out back, but rather because they buy it under the more common industrial name of oil absorbent. They know that oil absorbent (kitty litter) s in fact dlay mined out of open pits, mostly in Georgia, Louisiana and Florida. Grades of oil absorbents'vary dramatically depending upon the porosity of the dlay. Some grades of oil absorbent will absorb as little as 70% of their own weight in water. Others are extremely dusty or turn to mud as soon as they become wet. Swishs Florco oil and water absorbent absorbs up to 160% of its own weight in water, has the least dust content of any of its competitors and remains in its granular form even after use. Our customers who buy Florco as a kitty litter, tell us that itfs not only a superior product - but the price is also a lot less! If unpleasant odours in your cat's litter box are a concern, we recommend Swish Odor Sorb deodorant granules. Three tablespoons of Odor Sorb, mixed in with your cat's kitty litter will mask and absorb undesirable odours. Try Florco and Odor Sorb the next time you tend to your cat's litter box. Theyre PURRR fect.
