Things You Will Need

Spray the stained area with a water hose until it is thoroughly saturated.

Cover the stain with a dusting of powdered laundry detergent.

Remove the newspapers from the stained area.

Scrub the stain with a wet scrub brush with nylon bristles. Rinse the brush as needed until you've scrubbed away the suds and the stain.

Spread clean newspaper over the area that you scrubbed and blot it to help it dry more quickly.
