Default Best way to clean garage floor.

Well, it's not my garage floor, but it's where I do majority of the work on my car. Recently, I spilled some coolant and it's semi-dry... there is probably some oil in there too. What is the best way to clean up this kind of mess. In a shop, you can use that kitty litter looking stuff right when it happens, but I didn't have access to this stuff.

Basically, I just want to clean it up so my clothes don't get so dirty when I'm on my back workin'

if the oil has been sitting for a while it may soak into the concrete or whatever the flooring may be and leave a little stain even after cleaned...when u spray it try to dab the oil not real smear it because that will cause streaks and it will look ugly...i use this all the time at our shop and it always works ....just try not to get it on ur car...i think it ***** up the paint if it sits there.

I can barely get my car high enough to get under my car... maybe it's time to buy another jack. anyway, cat litter only works if it's a fresh spill right?

I'll see what home depot has, it seems like I'm there everyday these days anyway.
