Really Great Uses for Kitty Litter
Just because you don't own a feline friend (maybe you decided to go with a leopard gecko instead), doesn't mean you should take kitty litter off your shopping list. Here are several really good reasons why you need to take a stroll down the pet care aisle.
As a Deodorizer:
* Skip the baking soda and just use clean cat litter in a small container in your fridge to get rid of unwanted odors.
* Selling used books on Ebay? Get rid of smoke and musky by sealing them overnight in a can with clean cat litter.
* Stinky diaper pails and trash cans can be deodorized by sprinkling a few tablespoons of litter at the bottom.
* Clean litter can replace your odor eaters in a jiffy. Simply place a cup or two of cat litter in knee-high pantyhose, tie a knot and leave it in the shoe overnight.
As an Absorbent:
* Mechanics are aware that you can use litter to clean up oil in the garage. A 10-pound sack of litter will absorb more than a gallon of liquid, including paint and gasoline.
* Ever unpack your tent to find it’s moldy? Next year, place a tied-off sock full of litter in the tent before packing it away.
As a Beauty Treatment:
* Make your own clay mask (think spa treatment) with an all-natural, 100-percent clay cat litter that is scent-free. Mix three tablespoons of cat litter with about three tablespoons of water, then mix with a mortar and pestle. This is a great detoxifier as well.
Additional uses include:
* Keeping a big bag of kitty litter in the back of your car to add weight and for added traction if you get stuck.
* Pouring litter down mole holes is a kind way to send them packing!
* Adding a layer of litter to the bottom of your outdoor grill to prevent grease fires.
