[ASt85]

OK so, having left the boot floor to dry in the sun for the greater part of the day, whilst most of the stain has gone, the odour of synthetic oil is still present, albeit much reduced.

Also, it has become apparent, that the true size of the stain is around the size of two sheets of A4 paper.

Even though I worked towards the centre of the spill, I suspect that there had been some creep under the carpet along the surface of the plywood.

That's far too big a patch to economically treat with ground coffee or sodium bicarbonate, so, on with a shovel full of Fuller’s earth (Morrison’s cheapest own brand cat litter) and hopefully the remains of the stain and odour will be absorbed over night.

Watch for tomorrow’s thrilling instalment..............................
