What should I use to clean my garage floor ?

It's got big, dirty areas of oil, and / or grease and other stains from Fluids from my ' 03 P T Criuser. My P T finally bit the dust, and I had to trade it in on a nice, new leased 2015 Ford Fusion. So, should I use scouring powder in water with a little bleach in it , or what to clean a dark dirty , greasy mess. ? Is there some industrial type cleaner that people buy for garage floors ?

I've heard kitty litter works well MCM. I'm sure you must have kitty litter. Here is a video to watch, but I wouldn't use my feet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmmZ_r3-gTs

More info here>>http://www.stain-removal-101.com/removing-oil-stains-from-concrete.html

This site has a few suggestions with pictures kitty litter and detergent, Peat Moss, liquid detergent etc.

Find a mechanic who has a garage with a clean floor. (They do exist). Ask him what product he uses. Or ask at Lowes or Home Depot. All of them should recommend a product that is safe and also advise you how to use it properly.
