Your cement or concrete garage floor needs to be maintained properly for it to look good and stay safe to walk on. Spills of paint, oil and other slippery substances should be cleaned up as quickly as possible. Clay cat litter is a good material for soaking up spills. Once you sweep up the cat litter, spray the affected spot down with water and scrub it with a bristled brush.
Only concrete cleaning solutions should be used. Pouring bleach, detergents or other chemicals onto garage floors can cause damage to the concrete. Weakened concrete is more likely to crack during the winter's cold temperatures or when you drive a heavy vehicle over the spot. If you are concerned about spills soaking into the concrete, try sealing the surface with an epoxy based coating or a concrete paint. Paint is easily to apply, but won't last as long as epoxy if you park in the garage.

Pressure Washing Before Painting Garage Floors?
Many homeowners are using special epoxy coatings on garage floors that create a high-gloss durable surface that holds up to oil, grease, fuel and hot tires. However, preparing the concrete surface for painting is often difficult. Using pressure washers, hot water and degreaser products helps. The garage needs to be emptied before applying the epoxy anyway, so use the opportunity to power clean the floors. Open the garage doors, be careful of overspray, and keep the wand directed at the floor.
