Oil does not absorb into sand. It coats the sand allowing you to then pick up the now contaminated sand. Mechanics use non clumping kitty litter and this does actually absorb the oil. Lay a 1-2'' layer of kitty litter onto the oil spill and let stand 5-20 min depending on the amount of oil and the texture of the surface it is on. If the litter is completely saturated simply remove with a dust pan or shovel and repeat this process until the litter is no longer being saturated with the oil. Take a broom or brush or even your shoe and make a scrubbing motion with the litter into the oil stained surface to remove any residual oil and oil stains. Discard and your done
