And can you effectively spot-clean messes that are liquid or runny like urine or loose stools (my snake always has perfect firm poops, i'm having a bumper sticker printed). I've seen some comparison vids between coconut and aspen that favored the coconut, and to be honest i'm not a fan of the look of aspen, so really i just need some reassurance that i wont regret replacing my beloved yet ugly paper towels.
Advantages over finer products: easier to clean, and yes you can spot clean coconut chips.

Reading this right here is something I had not noticed before and it make me wonder about other statements made about this product.
There are standards for organic certification that pet substrate manufacturers are not going to try to comply with.
