Product Info
Mr. Thirsty is reusable for many saturations. Just allow natural drying by evaporation either in the place where it was used or move to a location either over a hot air register or sunlight. The product must be brought indoors at night.
Mr. Thirsty soaks up and holds over ten (10) times its weight in water and water based liquids. This amount is in excess of 90 fluid ounces or up to one (1) gallon of liquids. It will return to its original size and capacity through natural evaporation allowing the product to be continuously reused.
Mr. Thirsty is 36” long by 2'' in diameter, making it easy to use, easy to dispose of, and easy to store. Upon removal from the box, prior to use, simply stretch the product to its full length to evenly distribute the contents within the covering. It is common that there will be dust while initially handling until placed.
Mr. Thirsty can be molded to the shape of most surfaces where it is placed. When dried, after saturation, the product will appear stiff and lumpy. This will not affect the absorbing capacity in any way and with light hand pressure, Mr. Thirsty will return to the original granular condition for easy placement around objects or corners.
Mr. Thirsty will lock in the liquid absorbed and some swelling will occur when filled to capacity but you can not squeeze or wring it out. After repeated use and drying, some staining of the covering will occur.
Mr. Thirsty is manufactured by Sheen Kleen Inc., the foremost producer of industrial absorbents used in plants and factories, office buildings and public institutions. These products are 100% made in the USA.
If Mr. Thirsty has over-absorbed too much water there may be a gel like portion of the super absorbent that is forced out of the covering. Don't Worry! - there is nothing wrong with the product and the gel will dry and turn into a white crystal that can easily be brushed off of the covering.
