Or you can go one step further and after you've put the el'cheapo clay litter
down, use a common brick as a scrub brush. It will grind down the litter and
pick up even more of the oil. If it's a really tuough oil spot add a bit of
Tide (or other powdered laundry soap) into the mix. TSP is good too - cheap
at the hardware store. Use it dry with tthe litter, then hose the whole
works off when done.
One of the large repair shops where I was parts manager used Tide exclusivley
as their floor cleaner. Much cheaper & safer to use than commercial cleaners.
PS: just be careful to sweep up the litter when done... many memories of my
mom's cats using the littler dad put under her Olds for it's "primary
purpose" !!!!!
