>What do you use to clean oil stains off the garage floor?
The best answer I have found is *not* a chemical one, but rather physical.
You can buy stuff like "Sorbs-All" and the like, but the absolute best
thing I have found is the cheapest, Wal-Mart brand Kitty Litter you can
find (it's all the same stuff). It can be sprinkled on "wet" oil and it
will soak it all up in a hurry. On oil-stains in the concrete you just do
this: sprinkle a layer over the stain, then take a small square of 2X4
(mine's approx 4 x 4 x 2 in.) and grind the stuff right into the pores of
the concrete. You can then just sweep or vacuum up the dust, and you'll
have a nice white concrete again! This is how I cleaned up my garage floor
before I painted it a couple of years ago. Still looks great. Meow.
