Catch Oil From Dripping On Your Garage Floor With Cardboard

Motor oil stain removal from your garage floor is easy to do with kitty litter.

Actually, the cheapest type of kitty litter is best for this purpose, and you just sprinkle it all over the oil which has dripped or spilled onto your garage floor and let it sit in for a while.

You may also find it helpful to either rub the kitty litter in, with either a rough brush or stepping on it with your feet.

This helps break up all the big clumps of kitty litter and gets them in close contact with the spilled oil that you want soaked up and off your garage floor.

You may also need to take additional steps to clean up the oil after using the kitty litter. Check out this video about how to remove oil stains from concrete for some additional suggestions.

In addition, another helpful hint is to prevent oil from actually getting onto your garage floor by using a big piece of cardboard on the ground (see the picture above for an example).

Place the cardboard under the car that is dripping oil and save yourself a lot of headaches of cleaning your floor (or having it permanently stained by the motor oil).

I hope this tip about motor oil stain removal was helpful.
