I had an oil leak from my car. Now I have to clean up the oil from my driveway. How do I do it?

Question:
I need to clean up the oil patches left from the oil leak leak on my car. I tried all kind of things, like washing, etc. but it did not help very much. Is there a product for such a problem. Please advise. Thank you.

Answers:
Go to the local grocery and get some cat litter. Not the clumping kind, just the ordinary clay stuff. Works like a charm!

Alternatively, you can try Dawn dish soap. I heard about an oil truck that was in a vehicle wreck and oil spilled all over the freeway. The only way they could make the freeway safe to drive on again was by bringing in a large amount of Dawn dish soap and cleaning the road with that.

Oil dry or cat litter for pool of oil.

GOOP to get the oil stain out then soap and water.
