How should I clean car fluids off of my garage floor?

Answer by  ladybud (1069)

For oil use alcohol or product with alcohol in it. for all other fluid's dish soap that cut's grease will work well.IF the fluid's has been their for a long time you could use muratic acid or a concrete acid cleaner.Hydrocholric acid work's well also.If it is a bunch of fluid use saw dust sweep it up after 1 hour.

Even for more noxious fluids, such as engine oil or petrol, you need some sort of absorbent powder, such as fine sand or cement powder. Sawdust can also be used pretty effectively if you have access to it. Spread the powder over the spill, then sweep it up and dispose appropriately.

For oil try pouring on cola and leave overnight. The follosing day put enough dishwashing liquid in a bucket to get a good lather and scrub. Rinse with clean water.

The best thing to do is get kitty liter to absorb the excess fluid. You can then get a good concrete washing fluid and a hard brush and then you can clean the floor.
