I would like to endorse a vomit clean up product

[Bristol_Bay]

We have an elderly cat who vomits. A lot. Like we wake up in the middle of the night and have to step over a pond of vomit to get to the bathroom.

I bought some of this stuff to help us deal with the clean up.

Xsorb Spill Hero Universal Super… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CHN4XWR5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

No, I don’t get kick backs from Amazon. You can buy similar stuff at any janitorial supply store. You just sprinkle it on the vomit or whatever liquid it is and it absorbs it. You can just sweep up the granules. We always use the hand or stick vac also, and then wipe up the floor with a rag.

It’s really helping us cope with this issue.

Wow, thank you for the information.

Never too many good ideas for cleaning when you have pets.

Thread titles like this are why I come to COTH.

You don’t think it’s too click bait-y?

[OverandOnward]

It worked for me.

And I don’t even have a vomiting pet. At the mo. That could change.

I clicked in so fast… I actually wish I’d seen this in December. We have a 14yo kitty who started with some truly astonishing projectile vomiting of food that has clearly been sitting and rotting in her stomach for hours, then feeling utterly awful for 24 hours, then being fine. Another episode in Feb, and again a couple weeks ago. Cleanup has been a beast. Yes, vet has since been involved, etc no answers yet, it’s just the weirdest thing. Each episode is also accompanied by a green snotty nose, and a green weeping eye (one eye was removed a year ago).

I wonder what is is? It says it’s “natural earth products”.

Thank you! I have a cat with a sensitive GI tract and I might try this.

Thank you ! I actually giggled at the thread title not because of your situation or my appreciation of the info but because my immediate thought was this was my endorsed vomit cleaner. For the cat. The other dogs and sometimes himself

According to the Safety Data Sheet: https://spillhero.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/XSORB-Spill-Hero-Universal-Super-Absorbent-MSDS-1.pdf

it’s Perlite AKA Alumina Silicate AKA sodium potassium aluminum silicate. According to my search, the formula can vary, but might look something like Al₂K₂Na₂O₁₅Si₅.

I used to have one of those!

I’m afraid no dog would be interested in what I clean up as it’s 99% water/other fluid.

Peggy……you are showing your professional background as a chem prof with your response, lol. Love it!

(And thanks for letting us know what it is……but I suspect the canine version is a little bit more “organic.”)

[Bristol_Bay]

It’s recycling!

[JB]

Thanks @Peggy ! I didn’t think to look at the SDS

@ThreeWishes

Hahaha! Yes, our dog will happily clean up regurgitation, which comes out basically like it went in. Still makes me gag, but I’m quite happy to have to clean up just the leftover bits. The dog won’t touch the current projectile vomiting of rancid chicken and I don’t blame her at all!

Thanks.

It’s simple to do. Just type the name of the substance or product or whatever into your favorite search tool along with the letters SDS (safety data sheet) or MSDS (material SDS). One will often appear right at the top of the search results. Then you just have scroll around in the SDS or MSDS to find the ingredients, though they are occasionally not listed if it’s proprietary. It also gives you info about toxicity, cleanup, and so on. SDS is the more current way to refer to them but MSDS sometimes works better in searches.

I taught my students to do this in case they had friends or relatives who were working with some sort of product that they were concerned about.

Nothing like a bedtime vomit, painlessly cleaned up with a little magic vomit dust, a dustpan, and a hand vac!

[Bogey2]

Does it work on the bedspread, rugs and couch? My cats prefer to run to an object other than the easy to clean tile and hardwood floor!

[Bristol_Bay]

Honestly, I haven’t tried it on fabric or rugs. Last night I just rolled up the soiled rug and put it on the back porch for DH to deal with.

I can try sprinkling some on the wet rug once he’s hosed it off.

And I don’t even have a vomiting pet.

Thanks for the laugh.

Ugh, yes! I shove them off the bed if I can get to them fast enough, but sometimes it’s not fast enough. Couches are typically in the middle of the night, so no hope there.

But worse - we have a log house, and the flooring on the 2nd floor is the ceiling on the 1st, it’s all tongue and groove pine. The nice side is the 1st floor ceiling, and the flat side, still lovely just more rustic, is the floor on 2nd. But over the 20 years, things have shifted a little and shrunk a little, so some of the flooring side of things have small gaps. Guess where Miss Pukey likes to puke most?
