Getting oil off of the garage floor

[InquisitionCh...]

Ok since I am a self declared muppet, while doing an oil change, I managed to spill a bit of oil over the concrete garage floor.

Does anyone know the best way to remove the remnants of it? I'm not too keen on potentially getting oil wall over my nice new michelins

Anything absorbant will do. Flour?

the only thing I`ve had any real success with is petrol... I doesn`t get rid but washes it further into the concrete ... clean the excess with a cotton rag .. this will also remove some of the surface oil.

Normally use fullers earth to soak up oil spills.

Handily, cheap cat litter is made of fullers earth. Sprinkle plenty on, let it sit for a bit then sweep it back and forth over the spill, shovel it up and you're good. It will probably still mark the concrete.

Cement dust/plaster used in the same way after the fullers earth does an even better job.

Biological washing powder. Sprinkle it on, then add a little water until it becomes a paste. Leave for a couple of days before washing off. Works a little better if its slightly warmer than your average garage in winter

This is why I keep meaning to paint my garage floor. Your always going to get oil on the floor doing oil changes. If it's painted you can just wipe it off.

There's a small patch of my garage floor which isn't oil soaked. I'll get it yet though!

sounds stupid but throw some cat litter down , or saw dust as it absorbs to oil and its easy to sweep up then

Aldi. Cheap as chips washing up liquid. Pour over stain and let it sink in. Boil water and throw over and scrub with a deck brush. Done.



Next time get floor paint as spills wash away easy or get an old carpet tile.

What you have a garage and park the bike in there and have NO CARPET on the floor.....

Its the best way to make sure that nothing untoward gets onto the floor...

My garage has carpet and a rug on top.... Be arsed is I'm working on cold concrete...

I know a guy who does a cheap (well priced) tarmac job, only thing he requires is space to park his caravan and somewhere to tie up his daag, to be sure, be sure.
