Has anyone used a product called Oil-Away to clean a garage floor? Sounds too good to be true.

Says all you do is brush it in, no rinsing or sweeping up. Can't find anything by googling.

Sounds good enough to give them a call on Monday. $20 bucks is worth the gamble. I only have a few small spots in my garage, but I would pefer to have NO spots.

Dunno if it does work or not ...

That said, what I do is to spray engine degreaser on the stain, then when the foam subsides, cover it with cat litter. As the degreaser/oil evaporates out of the concrete, the litter absorbs it. Not the fastest acting, but it works, and can be done for only a few bucks.

Nothing is better then a wire brush. Using harsh chemicals is never the answer when your health is at risk.
