Oily Bilge
What also works is to use an industrial vacuum cleaner in combination with kitty litter. The litter is cheap and very effective at trapping the oil. The only trick is to ensure you''ve spread it real well and that you can reach it with the hose/nozzle.
There are oil/water filtration system on the market. I use one for our engine bilge as a matter of environmental responsibility. They cost at least $100 and will only absorb minute quantities of oil (i.e. you first have to get the big gunk out).
We use oil absorbant sheets during oil and filter changes. They are cheap insurance and easy to clean up. Just be sure to remove them afterwards.
