Subject: Cat litter containing zeolites
I'm currently working on the cleaning, humidification and flattening of a large maps and plans project. I recently came across an item that was previously treated during the 1940's during which time the varnish layer was removed. It is 60 years later and the organic odour is still very strong and difficult to impossible to be around. I thought I might attempt reducing/removing the odour by placing the item in a chamber with zeolites. It is my understanding that some brand-name cat litters contain zeolites. Since this is a on-off project, I'd like to be able to find something locally and in very small quantities. Is anyone aware of any specific brands that contain or are comprised of zeolites that are available in Canada? A review of the DistList archives, internet searches and trips to a local pet store have turned up nothing thus far.
