When you get all the kitty litter swept up you can put down some ordinary sawdust which does a wonderful job of wicking up oil. Also to finish cleaning any oil up, use dawn dishwashing liquid and water as dawn breaks up oil and it dissolves into the water then. Also teflon tape is not an option on hydraulics as they recommend you stick some over the end of a fitting when taping the fitting. The action of screwing the fitting in, cuts off whats sticking over the end and if you don't have a filter on the system It will get into motors and pumps and as its super slick, it will build up and push the pump or especially motors apart. Also teflon tape makes things so slick tightening like you would normally will sometimes split fittings from overtightening.
