Abstract
An oil-free, water-based sweeping compound containing sawdust, sand, and water has enhanced performance when an effective amount of a super-absorbent polymer, especially a cellulose/acrylate polymer, is incorporated. The resultant product is comparatively inexpensive, smells pleasant, maintains a desirable moist texture, and resists untimely moisture evaporation.
