Floor cleaner?

I've acquired some top quality premium french import workshop floor paint. (It was cheap, but is apparently very good, definately french as my mate picked it ip from the factory).

My question is what do i use to clean all the oil, grease, brake fluid, PAS fluid and other anus related fluids off the floor to give me a good surface to paint to?

Cheers

What about commercial floor degreaser? The kind they use in takeaways and stuff like that...
Even if its brilliant its only £5-10 for 5L of it, got to be worth a go!
