How to clean motor oil off the driveway??

Answer 1

there are several ways, you can buy a product from most DIY stores which does it, like patio cleaner etc, however sand can be used to soak it up but does not clean it, the very best and proven way is to get your wife to clean it and dont let her in your house until she has. Generally this may take a couple of nights but she will do it if she wants to go to bed sometime etc.

Use inexpensive cat litter. They do this alot in the states. The cat litter absorbs the oil which makes it alot easier to clean. Also, you might want to use a combination of baking soda and water to it and scrub with a metal brush or just let it sit and rinse off with a high power nozzel. Hope this helps. Heloise might have some cleaning tips as well.

After wiping up the pool of oil your Lamborgini left, use WD-40 and paper towels to get up most of the oil soaked into the top of the concrete. After that, leave kitty litter on top to bleach out the remaining color. Sweep the kitty litter around twice a day to put fresh litter against the stain.

The best thing to do first is soak it up with some sawdust or sand and then sweep the mess up. Next buy some industrial oil cleaner such as "Gunk" (can be bought from halfords) and clean the left over oil mark with that. Remember not to dispose of oil in the normal rubbish take it to the nearest recycling centre

Clean the spillage with rags or old clothes, then get a stiff brush and soapy water give it a good scrub and you have a clean drive,
Don't forget to dispose of the rags in accordance with local regulations and do not allow oil to enter watercourse.

Answer 8

Just neat detergent like washing up liquid and a hard brush failing that its the hard stuff be carefull and watch your lungs hydrochloric acid (spirits of salts) from your local builders merchant. I have not used it on Tarmac only paviours and it leaves them slightly lighter but it tones down again given time.

Use a hard brush you can throw away after and use industrial grade rubber gloves. Use sparingly and do not get your nose too far over it, the fumes will burn your lungs.

Wash the acid off with buckets off washing up liquid

Go to the store and buy some kitty litter. Sprinkle the kitty litter on the oil and grind it into the oil stain. Sweep away the dust and you're done.

Answer 10

soak up the oil for a day using industrial "Speedy-Dry" or similar. then (if the concrete is two or more years old) use a sollution of muriatic acid available at your local hardware store. be sure and follow directions and rinse off as instructed. repeat if necessary daily until spots go away. check vehicle for oilpan leaks that may be causing the oil spots.
