    put some baking soda or salt on it then sweep it up, it will absorb quickly

    Thanks everyone. The vinegar worked. I've washed the floor 3 times, a bit over kill, but I'm happy.

    Salt, salt, and more salt. Let it stay on overnight if you can. vacuum it up and clean again with Dawn dish soap

    I use Dawn for most grease or oil clean ups. For really greasy or oily I use Tide.

    When I got oil on a garment, I soaked it in dishwashing powder. Did no harm, but removed the oil.
