    Default need something absorbant

    last night i was taking bits out of my bay and i wasn't ready with the bucket, a bit of coolant went all over the floor and rug (marine carpet) normally i wouldn't care but i' was planning on being under the car tomorrow and it still hasn't dried at all. is there anything i can spread on it to soak it up, then sweep up? i thought of washing powder but i didn't want to make a soapy mess.

    anything powdery... try bicarb soda... then vac it up.

    Soap powder will work, just vac it up quick.
