Nancy Turner · Answer

Put the clay litter down, plenty of it and push it down with your foot into the cement. Let it sit for a while to absorb some of the oil if there is still some to absorb. You will need to use a good soap that cuts oil, like dawn or tide and let it soak for a while. Rub it in with a stiff brush or broom to really work it in. Rinse and see if it is gone. You can repeat as much as you like, but if it has been there a while you may not be able to get it all out, but it should reduce the stain.
