I think the worst I've done was a glass jar of honey...very hard to clean up. A few months ago though on a Saturday morning, I woke to a crash and then my 8 year old coming in a minute later or so..."now you're going to be upset, but.... there's been a terrible accident"... (can't be upset with that sort of honesty)...She takes me out to the kitchen and there's a smashed Meredith goats cheese jar (one of those super sized ones) on the floor near the fridge...."the lid wasn't on properly and when I picked it up I dropped it...."..... So so messy. And then slippery for a while because we couldn't seem to get all the oil up...
I've found washing powder to be really good with oil spills and similar. Cap of washing powder with warm water, or if that doesn't work, washing powder on the spill and a wet cloth
It ended up being absorbed by the floor boards I think...
