Hi Vikki, this should do it.
Mix a paste of baking soda and water. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, which is alkaline. It will neutralize the acid. You can also use lime from your garden shed -- which is calcium carbonate -- but if the spill is a large one, the lime may combine with the acid and solidify.
Apply a generous amount of paste to the stain with a paint scraper. Work it into the stain with a wire brush, then wash the area with plenty of clear water.
Wash the area with a cleaner that contains ammonia.
