Agree with all. Nothing beats Dawn for cutting oil and grease!

I'm sure the problem has been solved but kitty litter to absorb most of it, followed by a degreasor like dawn.

We have a 40 ft. long, red oak floored hall in the house. It is covered with 4 coats of the old fashioned polyurethane. When our children were younger I heard one of those, "Mooooommy!" calls and went blasting from one end of the hall to another, worrying what I'd find. I got about 10 feet down that hall and fell and slid the rest of the way - BABY OIL. A brand new, huge bottle. They were playing slip and slide.

I tried the usual grease and oil cutters but the winner was 1 c. of non-sudsing ammonia, 1 c. of rubbing alcohol, and one c. of water. Easy, cheap, no suds, make it in the kitchen and then put into spray bottles.

Please note that it was NOT a one wipe/spray settled the whole problem. The oil found every crevice and crack in the floor and it was very viscous so did a champion job of filling the aforementioned. The re-washes, however, weren't awful because of the no-sudsing of all the cleaner components.

The youngest of those children has achieved age 32 so you know I have been using the concoction for a while. It works and it never damaged anything including the fibers and fabrics I've been using all that time.

Another yes for Dawn. I use it even on my school bus. The diesel fumes are so oily and hard to remove. But Dawn is the best degrease I know.

Well, True4uca, do NOT do what I did when I was newly married 42 years ago. Spilled oil on kitchen floor and thought surely flour will absorb it up!!! NOT!!! You talk about a Double Mess!!! Bet I am wiser now. Yes do use Dawn or better yet if you have "Stanley Degreaser Concentrate".(The absolute BEST) Then rinse with vinigar water. Good luck.
