Abstract

Floor sweeping compound of the type conventionally containing sawdust, sand, and petroleum oil is modified by substituting, for the petroleum oil, inexpensive acid oils (or their salts) obtained as byproducts during the process of refining plant-derived oil, thereby rendering the compound both biodegradable and less expensive.
