Heating oil spills can be easily managed if they are dealt with immediately. This article explains the correct method to use when heating oil is spilled inside a home on hard, flat flooring. If heating oil is spilled in carpet, the carpet must be removed and replaced. If heating oil is spilled outside, in soil, or near water, these are more serious spills that may require the help of professionals to clean up safely and effectively. By following these procedures as outlined, a heating oil spill can be cleaned up and removed quickly. Keep flames and heat sources away from the spilled heating oil. Open the nearest windows and doors to allow for adequate ventilation in the spill area. Do not allow pets or people to walk through the spill site and track the oil throughout the house.
