I don't know.

During the clean up operations, there was many suggestions of mopping up oil using sponges, mats made of hair, and maybe sawdust. Any absorbing material should be able to remove some oil from water. Small spills of oil or other pollutants in calm water, may be more effectively cleaned up using these mats. Material or mats that absorbs oil must then be picked up and creates a very large disposal problem. Skimmers seemed to work best.

You spilled Ajax spray n wipe on your carpet will it bleach the carpet or can you leave it to dry?

It really depends on the quality of your carpet and which variety of Spray and Wipe that you spilled. At very minimum, it is best to stack paper towels and press them onto the spot to blot up as much of the liquid as you can. Even if it doesn't bleach, this will prevent it from becoming a stiff or sticky spot of the carpeting.

What is the calorific value of sawdust?

The "calorific value" (assuming you mean heat of combustion) of sawdust varies somewhat depending on the kind of wood the sawdust came from. It is also influenced by the amount of moisture in the sawdust - if the sawdust is not dry, some of the heat is absorbed to heat up the water and evaporate it instead of being given off as heat. The heating value of sawdust from softwoods (like pine) is typically about 20-22 MJ kg-1 and of hardwoods (like oak and maple) about 19-21 MJ kg-1. Note that despite the similarities of these ranges, there are plenty of woods that will yield higher and lower values; for example tests on poplar trees have a range of values of 19·49 MJ kg-1.
