There are several commercial oil cleaning products that contain solvents as well as soap which will clean up oil and even remove stains from concrete floors.

I use one in a white gallon plastic jug with a blue label. I get it at a local auto parts store. Works pretty good. Acetone will also work great but do not smoke while using it.
