    First apply kitty litter and let set for a few days. Then clean with a degreaser or Dawn liquid.

    Cat litter, the non clumping kind

  • Any home improvement or hardware store will have garage floor and driveway degreaser products. Until you can get to it, dump old fashioned clay kitty litter on it to absorb any surface oils.

    Try Coca chocolate and powder Tide washing powder. Pour the on spot, let sit for a bit and then scrub with some kind of stiff brush. It should come right up.

    I've never used it myself, however, I have read that a paste of dishwasher soap and a little water does the trick. If your dishwasher soap is a liquid (and not a powder) then just omit the water and apply a generous blob on the stains. Let it sit for an hour or so, scrub with a hard/stiff scrubbing brush then hose off. We never had oil stains as we always kept a piece of cardboard covering the floor area where the car was parked every night.

    Try diatomaceous earth or dry concrete. Cover and let it sit a day.
