Ever tried to remove an unsightly patch of oil that has leaked from the car onto the cement floor of your (otherwise spotless) garage or driveway? Cat litter might be your new best weapon, as it absorbs liquid and neutralises odour.
Pour the litter on the spot and use your foot to grind it in. Leave for a little while, giving it time to absorb the oil, then simply sweep it up. Repeat as needed.
