Cleaning up oil.

Got a few drops of oil on my garage floor. I'd like to know what stuff people here recommend for cleaning up the oil.

I'd like to clean up the floor if people will be staying at my house during the Winnipeg SVX meet which is now less than 2 WEEKS AWAY

I use this stuff

http://froogle.google.com/froogle_cl...ring=mrd&hl=en

Get it at better auto parts houses, mix with mineral spirets and wash off with water, it imulsifies the oil in the water, also could use purple concrete cleaner from home dummy or similar stores, no matter the brand I have found that purple is the most agressive.

Little spills, use DAWN,, Big spills, use Portland cement, DRY, and sweep it up, and build something.

I ended up buying some stuff that comes in a milk carton and sounds about the same consistancy as kitty litter. Haven't tried it yet but probably on saturday.

invite Harry over to your garage - the chewed up oats that fall out of his mouth should soak up that oil spill nicely.
