[ RadSafe ] SSKI for I-131 inpatient

[larry ratliff]

  Can anyone tell me the proper way to use SSKI to cut down on exposure in the sink basin and the toilet?
  It seems to me that if SSKI binds iodine that it may help bind that iodine to the sink instead of help wash it down? Is it slippery like baby oil so that it would run off into the sink and down the drain easier?
  Any help or comments would be appreciated Larry
