So, I did something stupid and I need help. We were iced in last week and I needed traction to get my car out of our driveway. All we had on hand was scoopable kitty litter. The ice has melted and now I have a slippery, goopy mess on my driveway. How do I clean this up?
Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. I scooped up the lumps of kitty litter from the drive and put them in the trash. We now have a fine layer of the kitty litter on the drive, but it's dry and no longer slippery. If the next heavy rain doesn't clear out the rest, I'll break out the hose. As an FYI, I think you could use this stuff as grout! :-)
Get a shovel and start scooping what's left then a hose and rinse it off. After that go and get some rock salt and keep on hand for the winter.
Garden hose and a broom or add a sprayer on the end of the hose that you can adjust to a hard spray then use it to push the goo to the bottom.
It should also dry out some and sweeping it up in a dust pan is an option that is actually better for the environment.
It should respond to a good hosing down. That's the way (more or less) you clean the litter box.
By the way, I keep a couple of bags (unopened) of kitty litter in the trunk of my car to give it more traction on icy roads. The kitties get to use it later.
With a garden hose and nozzle, try to accumulate it into a central pile. Then scoop it up like mud with whatever you have. It might dry out in the sun, but that might take longer than you want.
