You can go to Sams or Costco and get Oil-dri as well. It's used to absorb oil and chemical spills. Your local mechanic probably has a barrel of it somewhere. Anyway, it's about $4.50 or so for a 40 lb. bag. Here's a link to the MSDS if you're interested: http://www.oildri.com/indusauto/pdf/MSDSFA05.pdf and here's what it looks like:
