Cleaning Oil Stains.....

Yeah, this isnt car related but I dont know where to put it so w/e. As we know my car suffered from a oil leak which the doctor cured. Well It left some reminders on the garage floor. We left papers down but it didnt always work. Well my dad is kinda off the wall about the stains on the ground and wants me to clean it up. What is the best way to clean up oil stains?

Quik and cheap

To just hit some spots, not a huge old stain. I like a can of brake clean and a old terry towl, blast it good and wipe it up. Again not good on old soaked in stains.

We sell this stuff at work that is a powder and all you do is pour some on the oil stain. Works pretty good and it will kill almost any living thing it comes in contact with. If you want I can find out the name and price for you.
