Hey dirt,
i'm no liquids expert but i have cleaned up a few spills myself from time to time. You;ll most likely want to acquire some paper towels or other absorbent material like napkins, cloths, towels, cotton balls, cotton pads, sponges, tissues, foam, paper or fabric. be wary of non-porous materials such as plastic, tape, vinyl, rubber, leather and glass--these will not help you with your problem and may even make it worse! Best of luck.
