Baking soda naturally soaks up oil and can even pull it out of porous surfaces, like wood. Sprinkle baking soda directly onto the oil stain to get started. \
Use a healthy amount of baking soda, building a layer that is at least one inch thick. Let the baking soda sit for about 45 minutes. \
Next, sweep up or vacuum up the baking soda and gently wipe the area down with a damp, lean cloth. \
