Trust me on this. Wet the oil stain and surrounding area down. Spread plenty of powdered laundry detergent with the bleach crystals in it on the oil stain and scrub in with a broom or brush. Let it dry and set for a while and then re-wet it down and broom or brush again as you rinse it off.

There's no cheap way to do this, since oil can actually erode the asphalt. Unless you're referring to oil stains on concrete? Either way, if they are recent spills - floor dry or kitty litter can be used to absorb this... If you still have these stains afterwards, I recommend going to home depot and asking them what they might recommend. If they do not have any do it yourself products, contact an asphalt repair company. If it's on concrete, you can typically use a dish detergent and an industrial scrub brush... This will take a bit of work on your part, but it can be removed. Good luck!

I have heard of putting kitty litter on you're oil stains on the driveway. My husband works at a tire shop & thats what they put on theres.And also I have worked at a gas station & we used to have to go out there & put kittty litter on the oil spots let it dry then try scooping it up & see how well that does. Good luck

Dawn detergent. Put it on full strength, scrub it with a brush, hose it off, repeat if you need to. Do the kitty litter first , or oil-dry, at Home Depot

Hi,,, not an easy way,, but if you will find something that has Costic Soda in it,,, it and some scrubbing will......be careful ,, this stuff will eat holes in your skin and burn your eyes out... have proper PPE on,, eyeglasses and face shield,, and rubber gloves and such,, it is industrial ,,,, but it works.......
also,, if you dont want to,, call a cleaning service for Service Stations,,, (go in and ask) they may do it for you ,, with a power washer also....
good luck
