Cat litter or washing up powder.

Both work well from experience.

Did someone forget to put the sump plug back in??

Best bet is hashama (oil granules) if you can get any.. otherwise sand or soil will do...

Are you asking because you've done it before? Pretty sure it was you who left the sump plug out and put the oil in

Make sure you take the shit out of the cat litter before use. It doesn't help matters

Nitromors?

Get it up with some cat litter. Then give it a scrub with some Fairy Liquid and water. If the concrete is un-sealed then it's there forever, pretty much...
