Default Oily Water Turned Soil Gray!!! ( Lawn Guy )

When I said "I tried to wash it away", I DIDN'T mean that I took the
garden hose in 20' degree December weather, and washed it into the
street and down a storm drain to pollute the towns water!!!!


After I swept up all of the oil soaked "Johnny Cat" kitty litter, and
disposed of it in a Black trash bag, and threw it in the garbage can, I
put some "DAWN" dishsoap over the oil spot when it was raining, hoping
to get rid of it.


I used the "Dawn", because "Dawn" has those commercials saying that
"Dawn Dishsoap" is used to clean oil off wildlife animals when there is
an oil spill somewhere. So I figured that the "Dawn" would help get rid
of the oil spot, but unfortunately its still there.


And because the asphalt driveway is old, there is a rut, where I park my
car, and when it rains the rut fills up with oil and rainbow water, and
starts going over towards the grassy side of the driveway turning the
grass Black, and the soil Grey.
