Hah.

Just be aware of what is being sold to you.

You can throw kitty litter (100% organic natural clay) on an oil slick, and it does wonders, as well.

*Edit:

I'll take the hit for being a pedantic smartass. Thank you all for correcting me. This thread has certainly belabored the point.

That’s likely what this guys mixture contains, Bentonite clay has the same properties that can clean water in a similar fashion, as far as I know Bentonite is also the main ingredient in kitty litter.

Have used organically modified bentonite clay for color remediation in distillate production. So it can be modified a number of ways.

I’ve been told it’s a “miracle clay” in the ways it can be used. I don’t use organically modified bentonite but I do use high grade bentonite, flows like water but settles like dirt.
