Wipe the rest of the floor with oil and the stain will blend in... it will look like custom tinted concrete

Nice one! That would work!!

Actually I had some success with a hose and old broom simple green and some of that mag wheel etching cleaner for aluminum wheels. A few treatments and some scrubbing with the broom worked pretty well.

Power washer. That’s what I use.

It can be simply cleaned up by industrial power washer, of course, but believe me or not, a friend of mine some day was cleaning those stains just by connecting a big hose and shower head that was made for high pressures (like these: https://cozyhousetoday.com/best-high...rhead-reviews/), and by using hot water, it was vanishing up pretty nice.

That's what I did once I've left a stain on the bench near the house

I've used both of these on rough finished concrete (driveway). They work OK, not great, but it was an improvement.

The other product is called "Pour and Restore". At Amazon. I think Home Depot sells some products like this too.

Years ago, we would use Westley's Bleche-Wite whitewall cleaner on our shop floors once or twice a year. Be sure to have all the doors and windows open if you do it though.
