Default Cleaning oily residue off bedliner?

Truck has the factory spray in bedliner. Last week I took some metal junk that's been laying around my house down to my FIL's shop for his junk guy to pick up. One of the things I took over was the busted transmission from my old Ranger, which has been sitting outside for 2+ years and I thought was completely empty of fluid. While loading it, it rolled over on its side and a bunch of ATF mixed with water ran out of the dipstick hole and went down the bed, so now I have a big oily slick in my bed. I put cat litter on the worst of it but what's the best thing to get this oily spot out that I won't have to scrub? Ideally something I could spray on and then hose off.

Dawn dish soap. Spread it on let it set till it drys then do it again. Let it sit then use a brush and water to scrub it a bit. Rinse it all done.

I'll second Dawn.

All of the gimmicky cleaners that I've used trying to remove grease, oil. . . dish soap has always worked the best.

A third for Dawn and water with a scrub brush. Don't use a degreaser as it will attack the liner (don't ask how I know).

Dawn. Also, for really sticky oily residues, Goof Off.
