This post ought to be in something like CHAT.

However to remove oil from the floor (assuming its concrete) i would opt for GUNK which you can buy from Halfords. its under a tenner i think and is very strong. Brush it in with a stiff brissle broom then wash it away with a hose.

vinger and washing up liquid and washing powder cost less 2 quid
as the vinger lifts the oil the other 2 degrease it and clean it
