I accidentally spilled transmission fluid on the concrete in my garage about a month or two ago. What is the best way to clean this up? It has left a stain on the concrete.

I have always used a commercial product called "Speedi Dry"; it is usually available at better hardware stores and/or auto supply houses. If you only need a little, just go to the nearest oil change establishment, bat your baby-blues at the manager and he may give you a coffee can full. If "Speedi Dry" doesn't clean it, you may have to resort to using muriatic acid..but be caredful as it's nasty stuff! It'll burn holes in your clothes, skin and just about anything else. It's available at hardware stores.

I found this at the website below. I hope it helps!
How can I remove oil stains from my garage floor and driveway?
Go to your auto parts store and get something like Ulttrasorb (made by Motlan) - which you sprinkle on oil or grease spills. It absorbs it all, if you leave it there a few days. Then just sweep it up. There are numerous products specifically for this application - and they all do a great job, and are cheap. They are essentially compounds of very absorbent materials such as dried clay. Note: To get the area 'extra clean,' after the largest part of the spill is absorbed, sweep up the dirty absorber you selected and put some fresh down. Now, use your foot to crush the absorber into smaller, finer granules. Leave that there for a day or two. The finer particles get deep into the cracks and crevices and really do the job!

Multiple applications of commercially available concrete cleaner eg liquid magnet. Follow the instructions, leave to soak for as long as they say. Be careful, it burns.

Put some clay kitty litter (not the clumping kind) down on it and leave it for a few days before you sweep it up. You might have to do this more than once, but not always.

buy an industrial grease cutting soap and work it into the concrete with a broom, then power wash

Lots of Dawn dish detergent and a pressure washer or high pressure hose.
