[Shop-talk] Brake Fluid Clean Up Tips

[Wayne]

Hey Guys --

Looking for advice on the best way to clean up a big brake fluid mess 
(regular DOT3 stuff.) Had a hydraulic clutch repair go very badly. Have 
a couple quarts of the crud on my garage floor (thankfully epoxied so as 
not to soak in) and two sets of clothes soaked in it  :(

I soaked up the worst with oil dry.  Is the stuff water soluble? Can I 
put down Simple Green or something and vacuum up with a squeege nozzle?

Should I just throw out the clothes? Don't want to make a mess of my 
nice front-load washer.

Thanks for any advice!
