The method of an flipper oil spill clean up system for removing light oil, from the surface of a body of water, said upper and lower water depth, which will prevent pads from lose its shape, that wind and water current want effect. Comprising a handle having first and second ends, the first end of the handle comprising a pivotal support, engaging a frame, said frame having floats, provided thereupon the frame supporting said a sheet of hydropholic material, (for example, a standard 18″×18 clean-up sheet) means two opposing end, joint togather inplace beteen two pair identical floats, support by spring hinge. Comprising protective changeable flat bar, mean on said for various size of clean up sheet, in an open taut exposed fashion said, that a majority of both side of the sheet are open and exposed. Comprising floats on opposing side of the frame, adjacent to the pivotal connection, said configured to provide angled opposing end, and side, or below, mean on said funneling light oil onto hydropholic material. And second end a handle mounted on said frame which telescope in 7 feet section which in motion propelling forward and down, and pulled back and down, and an level, which frame said different angle, frame swept through a body of water, said top surface and below water surface causing said a parachute affect on clean up sheet, and said positioned under the spill area and lifted, so that the water run through hydropholic material, while the oil adheres to the sheet, and small contaminated debris mix with light oil said collected;
- are removed which as framed and supported said forms a planar collection area said one side of the sheet is saturated with oil said lifting frame off water surface, or partial on water surface, becomes unbalanced, mean on said pivot the frame over exposing the un-used side of the clean up sheet, said lifting from under the water surface to the oil floating thereupon when the sheet is saturated on both side are replace.
