Default spilled oil

Yesterday I spilled half a can of automobile oil on the unpainted
concrete floor in my basement. After using rags to sop up most of the
stuff, any ideas how to get up the rest? Will it eventually dry?
It's in a place where I can't really walk around it all the time, but
don't want to be tracking oil through the house. Thanks.


Get thee to Costco and pick up a large bucket of Kirkland
laundry detergent (about $11.50 when I bought one earlier
today).

You'll even find specific instructions on the package for
"oil spill cleanup".
