baby powder works as oil dry

thrifty people always try to find something else to do the job in the event that they don't have the proper item. When my ex moved his things out, a large bucket of oil was spilled on the shop floor. I tried soaking it up with sand, but that only got part of the spill. Instead of going out and buying some oil-dry/floor-sweep, I used a bottle of babypowder. I had tons left over from having kids as i really didn't use powder on my babies. Guess what? it worked :-) and my tool shed smells baby-fresh.
