If there is much oil in the bilge , besides your favorite brand of soap, we use simple green or Spic & Span , there is a chance that oil will still be in the mix.
To remove this oil we use a small 1/2 inch bilge pump on a stick, and a 3/4 garden hose to the galley sink.
The oil absorbent mats are used 6 thick in the sink , so with the slow delivery of the small pump you can capture most of the rest.
