we have a house with an asphalt driveway how do i get oil stains off so i can recoat it:? i?

Question

i've tried driveway cleaner and power washing

Answer 1

Go to Dollar General and get a can of 'GUNK' engine degreaser and a bottle of AJAX degreaser dishsoap. Put one cup of dishsoap in a bucket and fill it with HOT water. Best thing to use is a push-broom. Spray gunk on all the grease spots and then dump hot soapy dishsoap water on them and then vigorously scub them with the push-broom. All this stuff is biodegradable so just rinse off the driveway and let it dry. If you can still see the spots and especially if water beads on them, then you need to do it one more time. I take care of a parking lot, so I have done this many times and it really really works. Doing it this way only costs $2. I hope this helps you out.

Answer 2

You can use cat litter, let it stand for a while on heavy soiled spots then rub with a wooden block, next use cold oven cleaner, following directions and wash off let dry. Coat these spots first then do the entire driveway....

Answer 3

Pour liquid Tide on the stains directly from the bottle. Let sit a few hours, hose away. Tide has enzymes that will digest the oil.

Answer 4

I've actually has very good luck with my laundry detergent. I use Wisk, but I would imagine any other concentrated detergent would also work. I scrub with a scrub brush and the detergent is eco-friendly, so no issues with runoff.
