What is the best way to remove engine oil from cement?

I need to remove some lawn mower oil from the cement floor of a storage unit.What is the best way to remove engine oil from cement?
You can use powder to remove the excess oil. I used sawdust and worked wonders. If you can't get your hands on some, maybe use cat litter dust or something like that. Once you remove the excess oil, use any liquid soap to clean it.What is the best way to remove engine oil from cement?
Once you use cat litter or sawdust to absorb the oil, you can use laundry detergent and water to scrub the spot away. I have also heard that soda water helps take it out, used along with the detergent.
Try this one and all; 1Kitty litter(rice hull ash works better) 2 gallon of gas 3 old broom. Pour a little gas on oil spot. use broom to scrub oil spot. pour litter on gas. sweep litter around on spot to soak up gas . sweep into dust pan. This is the ONLY way that will remove that spot. The gas floats the oil up out of the cement,the litter soaks it all up. I've tried all other products,methods,machines. THIS WORKS.
clean up the excess with ';oil dry'; and use comet, a water hose and a push broom. hard work but it gets it out
kitty litter will absorb most of it. Then there's actually some chemicals you would be able to find in a hardware store to wash off any remaining residue but I don't know what it's called.
you can not remove it ,oil particles are already sunk deep into the cement but you can paint the the whole floor with an oil based paint grey so future oil stains cannot be absorbed and easlly washed away .
try cat litter or corn meal let it sit for a while it will absorb it after sweeping it scrub it with dawn dish soap
