    Oh no, what a mess indeed!
    Is it super tacky oil?
    I would think some degreaser lightly diluted in hot water from a spray bottle, then quickly shop vac'd up might work?

    Echo b&c oil
    I put about a roll of paper towels on it to draw some out. I'll try some zep degreaser on it. At least it's clean oil! Not like when you trip with the drain pan.....

    On the bright side. No rust. FIL had a old dump truck that he spilled oil on the floor board. It went under the rubber floor mat and preserved it for many years.

    I was putting a brand new quart bottle of dominator on the shelf, dropped it and it landed on the spikes of my clone 660 and split wide open. Those spikes can be brutal.
