    Default Cleaning Garage floor

    So after this last round of spilled oil and antifreeze the garage floor is looking pretty rough. I remember Onething recommending to use Tide to clean the concrete. How much should I use? More specifically whats the smallest box I can buy for a standard garage size?

    The garage is empty, right? Spray it down with water, sprinkle 2-3 cups of Tide over the whole floor. Scrub entire floor with a stiff push broom. Then rinse.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.

    Grinding kitty litter into the oil stain will help pull it up out of the concrete. Muratic acid will also clean concrete really nice, just make sure to dilute, ventilate, and rinse well afterward.

    I've used a product at Home Depot or Lowes called Pour-N-Restore. Pour it on the stain and let it dry. Sweep it up when dry. Works on old stains I had in my driveway. Not cheap but it works!
    ...and across the line.

    Yep this is what I did as well worked great. YMMV
